Digital BW, The Print

You're talking features. Martin specifically asked about print quality. 
I have a report of lack of ability to print a sharp edge at the image 
border and an overall softness with IJC. I've seen the same thing with 
Gimp at the edges, so I'm wondering if it's inherent in the dithering.
All these features are impressive, if one needs them. But if someone is 
using an existing quad set that works well with the Piezo plugin (for 
example) on papers they are happy with, and has no need for these 
additional benifits, what are you gaining in terms of print quality for 
your time and $$$?
There's a question, again.
Another question.
More on topic, why would anyone go out and get an entire new computer, 
install an operationg system quickly becoming obsolete, instead of 
simply waiting for a version for for the platform they already own?
Another question.
Although I don't use them, if someone is making perfectly beautiful 
prints with RGB curves, why is it non-sense?
