I will be using Monaco Profiler Platinum v4.8 and a DTP70 to read and profile 
the IT8.7/4.
I'll have them print one of the G7 forms with images and targets. Is this what 
you meant by more than just a IT8.7/4 target?

Also, when creating the the profile from their proofing device. Any suggestions 
on Ink Control settings?
    I will be measuring from an ink jet proof but the files have some kind of 
color separations with UCR or GCR.
        Should I leave the Ink Control settings on InkJet? Or should I try to 
guess at what UCR/GCR settings they used. I could assume they used the SWOPv2 
settings.
        From the looks of the separations, they look like SWOPv2 UCR.

yes, but you need a sophisticated profiling tool and maybe more than
just a IT8.7/4 target.

... to get paid for the effort you put in as you are not the one who is
to blame for that mess -- /You/ stick to the standards, but /you/ have
to carry the can for the fact that somebody else dosn't :(
