I was off base on the pressure marks, had the print oriented wrong in my head.
Can you try to print just a solid black say 8" x 34". See if you still get this problem.
The reason I ask, if you look at the, a lot seems to be coming off the head that is printed first. If you can print a solid black. If you can print a solid black test print, then there is something going on in the print/driver/spooler (if windows).
Are you printing on matte canvas? if so I am assuming it's the matte PK? You can also try a ink swap, and see if the PK ink does the same thing.
All these things take time out of the day, I realize, but it does seem that there is either something in the print or ink delivery. I know it's hard to believe it's in the print, but I have cases where it has happened.
If you still get the patterns, it might be time to call Epson.
The raised grid like parts of the lower part of the platen can sometimes create a slight impression, but these will show up much more evenly, spaced about 1" apart. The discoloration you have is not evenly spaced across the entire print.
The suction on some of the older Epson, (my 9880's) can get uneven over time due to the fans themselves starting to wear out. This creates a problem where the heavier prints will pull down a bit more on one side, but this lends to print skew more often. I am not sure what the 9900's use on the suction. The 9880 has several large fans across the underneath of the platen. 9900's may have the same thing, I realize you have a 9890, but it's the same design, just different head.
