Basically all those units, Noritsu and Frontier from Fuji, as well as Agfa
D2 lab series for massive C-printing use sRGB as their de facto setting and
giving them files  using another color profile( A98) may mean trouble with
color rendition.

There is a well known  profiling service in the  US for such machines. It's
the Drycreek guys.

You will get in the website's Database the info for US based labs who have
already profiled their Noritsus, Frontier, etc. and eventually you will find
the list of labs in the UK (and other parts of the world ) which have done
likewise.

I used their service to profile an Agfa D2 unit in Miami some 10 months ago
and results are very precise. The profile is provided to photogs who like to
work on their files and make all adjustments before submitting their files
and actually see the results in printed form, although the machine can
produce prints of  acceptable quality on it's own, something particularly
useful for events/wedding photogs who may rather  print all the CF card
contents( in a small format such as 4x6 instead of making contact sheets) if
they are in rush mode for urgent delivery and shot in sRGB.

satanic RGb definitely influences a large portion of the commercial markets.
