I certainly hope Epson doesn't sneak additional edge sharpening into
my workflow when I print Black-Only! 

In any case, I always use light unsharp masking on 35mm. The sharpness
difference is between the Epson Black-Only and QTR with exactly the
same file. 

I've been very happy with Epson's driver for color...never had a doubt
about sharpness. And I'm happy with Black-Only, also Epson's driver.
Doubts have arisen about sharpness with QTR. 

I'm using 2.3.10...have any releases previously had sharpness issues?
