I've always wondered this and figured one of you guys here might have an answer for me. Why is it that with many prints you receive, you open up the can/box and find (for example) reels 1, 3, and 4 heads up, and 2, 5, and 6 tails up? Is there a good reason why reels are wound so randomly like this? Obviously if they are all heads up or all tails up, assembling the print is much easier. But I hate having to go through and rewind reels just to get their orientation right. And yes, I know, it doesnt take much time to rewind a reel, but that's beside the point. Anyone know how this happens?
