Abstract (en)

[origin: WO8702722A1] Process for producing gloss and smoothness on the surface of a paper web (1), comprising: A. advancing a web (1) of papermaking fibers through a nip formed by a smooth metal finishing drum (2) and a resilient backing roll (3, 5) providing a nip pressure on the web (1) of at least 13,780 KN/M<2> (2000 psi); and B. heating the drum (2) to a temperature at least high enough to heat a critical substrata portion of the web (1) to a temperature of at least the dynamic Tg of the fibers to provide an unexpected increase in gloss and surface flatness without excessively densifying the entire sheet.
