Try compressing at maximum quality. Unless you're very unlucky, I doubt
you'll be able to tell the difference in prints. OTOH, FileMaker will be
able to print/draw the JPEG very quickly. I find a same size Tiff can take
up to 2 or 3 minutes just to draw in FM, whereas the JPEG is virtually
instant.
