As long as they keep the lab stable, and you are willing to tweak your system to match, and keep your system stable, you should have no problems. It's important to run a few tests on the lab, asking for unmanipulated pictures so that you can get a handle on how different your system is from theirs. Match your screen to their output with unmanipulated files and you shouldn't have any problems. Noritsu machines have very stable calibration, as long as they are maintained. Make sure you send your files in sRGB colour space to avoid clipping. I think I will be running a 3010 soon. The studio that shoot at just bought a Noritsu lab, and I will be helping out a couple of days a week keeping the digital end of things straight.
