B&W Tiff format will take less space. use the line art setting. then
convert to tiff using an art program will save time.
to be honest there is no need for such a high resolution since it
will not be going to a high end rendering printer in the long run.

as for format Macs can access any format. but again I must iterate
the fact that these are huge files we are talking about here have you
looked at say PNG?
