Optimal Options

Up until about two decades ago, converters dealt with a similar situation, though not as simple as color, when looking to invest in winding and splicing equipment. At the time, manufacturers mostly supplied shafted unwinds and rewinds, and splicers were very basic. Often, converters used the unwinds, rewinds, and splicers that came with the purchase of a new press, not because that was the easiest way to do business, but because their options were otherwise limited.
