I never have problems with RGB TIFFs at 8 bit without layers 
but with LZW compression. That's what I use. I never have 
problems with greyscale files in a similar shape either.

The interpolation is never showing artifacts either but the 
upsampling I use seldom gets over 80 %. Smart print sharpening 
is the main thing I am careful with. Usually I do not get 
above 2% and sometimes I do not use any sharpening.
