Define 'typical'. An image I have here that is just few line drawings
has these stats:
TIFF TIFF TIFF
SIZE NO CODING PACKBITS LZW
figure 2271 x 2540 721,702 60,980 24,290
x 1 bit
That seems to be close to your guesstimate when LZW is used inside
the TIFF file. But there really isn't much info in this drawing.
