TIF vs. PNG for Screen Shots

[joemiller -at- canberra -dot- com]

We long ago standardized on packbits-compressed TIFFs for screen
shots,
but I've just found that PNGs seem to have the same quality when
printed
at 600 dpi and the file size is considerably smaller.

Does anyone make extensive use of PNGs for screen shots?   Have any problems
been seen with PNG files?

TIA,
Joe
