QTR-Quadtone RIP

Not about bronzing, but about sharpness: the same picture printed on Epson Ultra Premium Luster appears sharper to me compared to Innova Fiba and Hahnemuhle Baryta and Perl papers.  

Did you notice any difference?

I now see why so many posts here regarding the amount of Gloss and or spray required to reduce the bronzing on the PK ink for glossy/luster papers on the R800 / R1800 printers and especially the Epson Luster.  All were printed 2880, uni-directional, and adaptive-hybird on my R1800.
