Abstract
Reformation techniques and apparatus. Typically employed to permit separate printing and finishing of multiple webs of paper, these techniques and apparatus utilize or provide heat and, in some cases, initial tension, to change dimensions (including repeat length) of the paper of one or more webs. Webs dimensionally-reformed in accordance with the techniques typically do not require subsequent variation of tension to maintain appropriate dimension, permitting any such tension variation to occur solely to enhance other aspects of the finishing processes.
