Like with using Qimage in color printing there's more than 
just the quality of the print result. However the 
extrapolation + sharpening of Qimage is the best around. It 
needs a challenge though so if you have data enough in the 
original file for the sizes you want to print  it becomes 
difficult to detect quality differences between Qimage and 
other software. But even then there are so many other features 
available in Qimage that you will not find  in QTR or 
Photoshop: nesting of images on larger sheets or rolls, 
profiling per image on one print page, log file of jobs done, 
etc etc.
