Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. - Thomas Edison
I am not noticing any type of tension setting in the 4900. I don't see a manual way of tightening or loosening it either. And rom what I can tell the amount that it is off each time is random. Sometimes more, sometimes less. I did notice however today, as a random test. That it seemed.... my removing the roll that was about to expire. And placing it back in after powering off and powering back on the printer that it didn't seem to stretch or squish the image any further.... (did I discover some sort of reloading or new roll tension reset)?
its not the film, I use a different brand, but have the same problem.

Im a little confused. You are suggesting to "decrease" the paper suction to -3? According to the documentation you would decrease the suction when printing on lighter mediums... I would think for waterproof film being its thick you would want to increase it right? Heck, we are willing to try anything at this point, just trying to understand the logic behind the fix. And thanks again for suggesting it! I don't know that I have ever noticed that in the print settings, I certainly have never noticed it on the printer. Im about to go looking for it right now.We also use a 5mil roll of waterproof film 17" x 100' (2 inch core)
