A high-speed printer is provided. The printer includes a media assembly for supporting a media roll that supplies the sheet of media and also for controlling a flow rate of the sheet of media through the printer. The sheet of media is received by the feedback control system, which is used to detect a slack position of the sheet of media. The slack position is used by the media assembly to determine a flow rate of the sheet of media through the printer. In addition, the printer also includes a roller system for receiving the sheet of material from the feedback control system and to feed the sheet of media to a print carriage.

The invented sheet media marking system provides a platen which is configured to rotate a sheet of medium about a marker so as to accommodate marking of the sheet. The platen preferably takes the form of a rotatable drum, the interior of which supports the sheet at a predetermined distance from the printhead which is suspended within the drum. A printhead support is used to hold the printhead in a fixed rotational orientation relative to the platen's axis of rotation, each rotation passing the sheet across the printhead for marking thereof in a swath of print. The sheet is advanced using a medium advancing mechanism which directs movement of the sheet along the interior surface of the drum.
