Sharpening to get an image you like on the monitor is alright. 
The sharpening for the print doesn't look nice on the monitor but 
is good for the print.  That print sharpening is something you do 
not want to keep archived in the image file as it relates to the 
size and the type of print. Qimage does that sharpening at the 
right moment and in a controllable way.

Bruce Fraser has some pages on the subject of sharpening stages 
in image processing,
