I was thinking the same thing.
A couple years ago the guy who ran a local lab and I decided to test
his Fuji Frontier printer. We made a series of 12x18" prints from the
same file, using TIFs and JPGs with and without USM and RIP
sharpening.
Try as we might, we could NOT see a difference between the TIFs and
JPGs. The file to which I applied PS USM appeared a bit more clear
than a version w/o that was auto-sharpened by the RIP.
Since then, I apply USM to my files and give the lab JPGs with
instructions to NOT modify them in any way.
