A PNG (1000ssless) file would be better for archiving than a TIFF.
They are usually about 700f the size of TIFF files, and have other
advantages:

The 4000dpi filmescanners, in 16-bit mode, generate a 120MB Tiff file, at
approximately 5500x3500 pixels. The flatbed might generate files that big,
but the results are limited by the print -- to a much lower quality.
