I don't know how my lab does it (pro type lab in Berkeley), but they have a
couple of color spaces that they use in their Frontier besides srgb.  In
fact, they gave me the profiles they use and I'll be trying them out soon.
I've compared them on screen to srgb and there is a visible difference.
Depending on the image, sometimes subtle, sometimes not at all subtle.

A company called AGT (IIRC), now owned by Fuji, produces a software/hardware
package for the Frontier tailoring it to pro labs as opposed to minilabs. I
had the opportunity to work with it for a very short time. I can't remember
if it dealt in multiple color spaces, but given it's market it would make
sense that it would. Great package BTW. Adobe 1998 is very close to what
RA-4 and inkjets are capable of max outputting, so depending on what colors
are in the image, changing the color space could have a noticeable
difference in the appearance of the print. Next time you go there, ask them
if they're running the AGT package and if so how they like it.
