TIFF is an uncompressed file format, so the highest quality, but it results in very large files.
TIFF can also be LZW compressed.

The industry print standards are 300dpi saved as a .TIFF, but I've done side by side prints from JPG and TIFF and there is no noticable difference at 12x18.
The nice thing about receiving photos in TIFF is they retain their chroma resolution for image processing before going to print. Also, it should be mentioned that any "ink" prints (on a press or desktop printer) should be done from a CMYK colour space file (for 4 colour) or LAB colour space file (for hexachrome), while a traditional "photographic" print (to photographic paper) should be done from an RGB color space image.

Thanks Todd. I thought I did something wrong..
I’m still figuring out how to use LR 1.1, but can tell already that I better figure out a smart way file my photos.
How do you store / file yours? And after I download my raw files onto the computer and tweak them in LR, can I export them as JPEG and still find the Raw file? I’m not clear on how that works.

Each memory card goes into a folder. The files are renumbered as follows:
YYMMDD_C####
Y = Year
M = Month
D = Day
C = Card Number for that day (1-9 then a-z)
#### = Four digit number created by the camera
An example from this weekend: "070729_10123.JPG", "070729_10124.JPG", etc.
This allows each file to have a unique number (ie. no two files will ever over wright each other). Because of this I can then move/copy all sorts of files wherever I want without worrying about missing giles.

I don't use LR, so don't know how that handles things file wise. For me, when I have RAW and processed files they have different file extensions (.CRW, .TIFF, .JPG) so can be saved together in the same folder.
As for organizing the folders of files to know what is where... I have a really good memory so that helps... but with each file (from the above memory cards) I will give it a simple name:
MM_DD_YYYY - Name
An example from this weekend: "07_29_2007 - SJGP 1", then "07_29_2007 - SJGP 2", etc.
With most photo catalogue programs (I personally use iView Media Pro) you can then create previews for all of the files in a folder... with iView I can save each of these as separate files... typically one for each day.

16x20 prints are going to cost you as much as the A1400...
sniff-sniff.... I had to pass on the A1400. Reality set in July 31 when I had to make “the call” and I realized how silly it is for me to think I need 1400 watts for a 12 X 16 room. The 80's and 600 are overkill with my POS back up AVR.
So I bought a printer... Just ordered a Canon iPF5000 with an extra set of ink cartridges ($1400). I hope they don't realize where I live before they ship it because I got free shipping and shipping that beast second day air will be mighty painful.

If you need someone to help calibrate your computer monitor and that new printer (so prints come out looking like what's on your screen), I'd be happy to do it for free -- minus airfare, of course. I've gotten pretty good at it in the last month at work.
