Mixed raster content
Mixed raster content, or MRC, is a method for compressing images that contain both binary text and continuous-tone components, using image segmentation methods to improve the level of compression and the quality of the rendered image.[1] By separating the image into components with different levels of compressibility, the most efficient and accurate compression algorithms for each type can be used.
Generally, MRC is packaged into a hybrid file format which supports markup language such as XML, allowing for multiple images, and the instructions to properly render each of them, to be stored within a single file.
