Sometimes called a roll to roll label printer, these attachments sit either behind or in front of your inkjet printer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The purpose is to give your labels a point to roll off of (the unwinder) and a point to roll onto (the rewinder).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So how does it all work?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A roll of labels is first loaded onto the unwinder and fed through the back of the printer. Once printed, labels are then attached to the rewinder, where they rewind onto an empty roll core. When finished, you\u2019re left with a brand new roll of freshly printed labels.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And it doesn\u2019t have to be one or the other. That\u2019s right, you can use either an unwinder or rewinder separately or combine the two and use them together! This is a key way to help increase peak efficiency with your business.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Just note that some inkjet printers utilize these accessories differently!<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Auto cutter and peel-and-present inkjet printers both use unwinders to unwind label rolls, but they differ in how they utilize rewinders.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Labels for auto cutter inkjet printers are able to rewind onto an empty roll core. However, peel-and-present inkjet printers remove labels from the liner as they print.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This means labels cannot be rewound. Instead rewinders sit behind peel-and-present printers and take up release liner waste for an easier clean up process.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Okay, great! Now you know what these accessories are. But what opportunities are best for using an unwinder and a rewinder?<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">.fusion-body .fusion-builder-column-1{width:100% !important;margin-top : 0px;margin-bottom : 20px;}.fusion-builder-column-1 > .fusion-column-wrapper {padding-top : 0px !important;padding-right : 0px !important;margin-right : 1.92%;padding-bottom : 0px !important;padding-left : 0px !important;margin-left : 1.92%;}@media only screen and (max-width:1064px) {.fusion-body .fusion-builder-column-1{width:100% !important;order : 0;}.fusion-builder-column-1 > .fusion-column-wrapper {margin-right : 1.92%;margin-left : 1.92%;}}@media only screen and (max-width:640px) {.fusion-body .fusion-builder-column-1{width:100% !important;order : 0;}.fusion-builder-column-1 > .fusion-column-wrapper {margin-right : 1.92%;margin-left : 1.92%;}}<\/style><\/div><\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">.fusion-body .fusion-flex-container.fusion-builder-row-2{ padding-top : 0px;margin-top : 0px;padding-right : 0px;padding-bottom : 0px;margin-bottom : 0px;padding-left : 0px;}<\/style><\/div><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-3 fusion-flex-container has-pattern-background has-mask-background nonhundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling\" style=\"background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0);background-position: center center;background-repeat: no-repeat;border-width: 0px 0px 0px 0px;border-color:#eae9e9;border-style:solid;\" ><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-row fusion-flex-align-items-flex-start\" style=\"max-width:1144px;margin-left: calc(-4% \/ 2 );margin-right: calc(-4% \/ 2 );\"><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-2 fusion_builder_column_1_1 1_1 fusion-flex-column\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-flex-justify-content-flex-start fusion-content-layout-column\" style=\"background-position:left top;background-repeat:no-repeat;-webkit-background-size:cover;-moz-background-size:cover;-o-background-size:cover;background-size:cover;padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;\"><style type=\"text\/css\">@media only screen and (max-width:1064px) {.fusion-title.fusion-title-2{margin-top:5px!important; margin-right:0px!important;margin-bottom:10px!important;margin-left:0px!important;}}@media only screen and (max-width:640px) {.fusion-title.fusion-title-2{margin-top:0px!important; margin-right:0px!important;margin-bottom:20px!important; margin-left:0px!important;}}<\/style><div class=\"fusion-title title fusion-title-2 fusion-sep-none fusion-title-text fusion-title-size-two\" style=\"margin-top:5px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:10px;margin-left:0px;\"><h2 class=\"title-heading-left\" style=\"margin:0;\"><strong>When to Use an Unwinder and Rewinder?<\/strong><\/h2><\/div><div ><span class=\" fusion-imageframe imageframe-none imageframe-1 hover-type-none\"><img width=\"760\" height=\"389\" title=\"Why_Use_An_Unwinder_Rewinder_Feature_1\" src=\"https:\/\/www.smithcorona.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Why_Use_An_Unwinder_Rewinder_Feature_1-e1673450330520.png\" alt class=\"img-responsive wp-image-14220\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.smithcorona.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Why_Use_An_Unwinder_Rewinder_Feature_1-e1673450330520-200x102.png 200w, https:\/\/www.smithcorona.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Why_Use_An_Unwinder_Rewinder_Feature_1-e1673450330520-400x205.png 400w, https:\/\/www.smithcorona.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Why_Use_An_Unwinder_Rewinder_Feature_1-e1673450330520-600x307.png 600w, https:\/\/www.smithcorona.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Why_Use_An_Unwinder_Rewinder_Feature_1-e1673450330520.png 760w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1064px) 100vw, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 760px\" \/><\/span><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-4\"><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Accessories like an unwinder and a rewinder can be helpful in several different scenarios.
