TIFF is typically used as an intermediate uncompressed memory format for almost everything in images. Your png library is probably uncompressing png images into TIFF images internally. Your printer probably translates whatever is given to it into a TIFF image to print, your scanners probably use TIFF as a raw format to translate into something else. Even camera RAW images are probably using TIFF in some way or another.
