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. http://www.drycreekphoto.com/Frontier/FrontierDatabase.htm 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.
