1. An apparatus comprising at least one processor and at least one memory having computer-coded instructions stored thereon that, in execution with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to:
determine, via a sensor and during a media output phase, an output phase timestamp differential based at least in part on a first edge associated with a first printable portion of a print media and a second edge associated with a second printable portion of the print media;
determine, via the sensor during a media retraction phase, a retraction phase timestamp differential based at least in part on a third edge associated with a third printable portion of the print media and a fourth edge associated with a fourth printable portion of the print media; and
generate a print position compensation based at least in part on the output phase timestamp differential and the retraction phase timestamp differential.
