How do you convert to Line Art?  Is that part of your scanner's SW package, 
or part of a photo editor?

And thanks for reminding us that TIFF does indeed have a LZW compression 
option, which helps a lot (in your case, A LOT!).

Wow!  But that's what I'd expect GIF to do on line art, meaning a line 
drawing or pure text.  Good old RLE (run length encoding) will do well on those too.
