            I don’t know about fax machines but a lot of scanners used it. You can also have multi-page .tiff files of lossless images, though they’re generally huge files.

      The fuck? Most formats are more complicated than TIFF. TIFF is so simple, you barely have to read 30 pages of well written spec to modify it with just a hex editor. You don’t get much simpler with a binary format. Want something complicated? Try implementing PDF with it’s hundreds to thousands of pages per version.
