Abstract :
The diversity of equipment used in any finishing room depends upon the types of paper being produced in the mill, and also on the amount of fancy finishing desired. Some mills such as those producing newsprint normally confine their finishing operations to rewinding and splitting defective rolls; others, such as those in the fine paper field, go in for a multitude of finishing or secondary processes which change the visual or physical characteristics of the original paper. These may be something vastly different, but, nevertheless, very important in their relation to the end use of the paper.
