You run into this with scans of blueprints.
There you have TWO size issues. The original may have enormous physical

A well chosen image format shouldn't have much problem with file size,
since the blueprint ia all B&W single bit, made up of line segments and
text. An uncompressed bitmap would be ridiculously large, but some format
to store the text and positions, and the line segments should be able to
bring it down to very manageable size.
