Digital BW, The Print

Have you used QTR-create-ICC to profile both BO and the curves you are using
with QTR?  That would output both prints with the same tonal characteristic.
If this has not been done, I wonder if the BO shadow compression is
generating more contrast in the features that appear sharp?

Best regards,
John Moody

At your suggestion I did just compare. There seems no improvement at
2880...and it doesn't begin to match results at 1440 with a little
smart sharpen, which do come close to Black Only without extra sharpening.

Black Only is significantly sharper at 1440 than QTR at 1440 or 2880
in my setup.
