there is both a high and slow speed on the model c that we use - generally
we print dailies at high speed....but can accommidate people who have
special requests.... i generally only shoot film locked on a tripod and have
never noticed any kind of vertical bounce. not sure of what you mean by
weaving. i've never fielded any sort of complaint about in motion
attributed to the printer within the frame...but such tech concerns are
always useful to hear.
