Abstract (en)

A web (1) of flexible material, such as paper and nonwoven materia is embossed by printing the web (1) in a selected pattern by bringing it into a first nip between an impression roll (3) and a printing roll (14) carrying a colorant in a selected pattern; subsequently embossing the web by bringing it into a second nip between a pattern roll (2) and said impression roll (3), said pattern roll having a three dimensional pattern of alternating raised (4) and recessed portions (5), said three dimensional pattern being interrupted by relatively smooth areas (6), so that the web will be embossed in selected areas (7) while leaving other areas (8) substantially unembossed; said pattern roll (2) and printing roll (14) being synchronized so that embossing occurs mainly in the areas of the web that are not printed in said selected pattern. The printing and embossing steps may also be reversed so that the web is embossed before printing. <IMAGE>
