When utilizing a Contiweb CR-N non-stop rewinder in combination with a Contiweb CD-N non-stop unwinder, printers gain several additional benefits, including the capability of executing a coordinated splice. This refers to the process of making a splice at the exact same location when the paper reel is wound by the CR-N non-stop rewinder as the splice made at the beginning of the process by the CD-N non-stop unwinder. These splices align perfectly on top of each other. This synchronization is made possible due to the zero speed technology and paper buffer of the CR-N non-stop rewinder, which provides enhanced control over the splicing moment. The advantages of a coordinated splice include reduced waste and the assurance of having a printed roll of paper that matches the unprinted roll precisely.
