The base web (140) includes at least one circumferentially extending banded region (126) of fibrous crystalline cellulosic material (126) thereon. The fibrous crystalline cellulosic material (126) is in a condition of having been gravure printed on the base web (140) as a fibrous crystalline cellulosic slurry that comprises water, crystalline cellulose, and chalk wherein the fibrous crystalline cellulosic slurry has a solids content of about 10% or less by weight of the fibrous crystalline cellulosic slurry.
