QTR-Quadtone RIP

I think Qimage's interpolation is superior. As far as sharpening 
goes, Photoshop does not offer Smart Sharpening, which is output 
sharpening. Initially I was printing my color images from Qimage and 
B&W directly with QTR but I noticed a difference in the sharpness. I 
would have to add additional sharpening. So I started using the 
Print to File in Qimage and I like the results much better.
