Abstract:
1. A method of adjusting the operation of a printing system depositing ink on a continuous web of recording media moving along a web path comprising: identifying with a sensor a first tension of the continuous web of recording media moving along the web path; detecting with a controller that an amount of ink to be deposited on the continuous web of recording media is greater than a first predetermined amount of ink, the detection being made with reference to image data stored in a memory of the printing system; and adjusting with the controller the first tension of the continuous web of recording media to a second tension in response to the detection of the amount of ink being greater than the first predetermined amount of ink, the second tension compensating for shrinkage of the continuous web of print media resulting from the detection of the amount of ink being greater than the first predetermined amount of ink.
