I see awful lots of white spaces. Having experience with Reed-Solomon, EFM, and other coding schemes, that just doesn't look right to me. Additionally printing on paper these days, and doing it well, is not difficult. Considering that a high resolution image on A-4 sheet of paper will easily be a large BMP file of many megabytes, why only 200k? Nah! QR codes and PDF417 store a lot in the small spaces they occupy so this just doesn't make sense to me
