Disclosed are multi-ply tissue products, particularly wet pressed facial tissue products that have been recreped. For example, disclosed are tissue products prepared from wet pressed tissue webs that have been recreped using a print-crepe process that deposits a latex polymer on at least one of the outer surfaces of the tissue web. The tissue products have improved strength and softness, such as a geometric mean tensile strength (GMT) greater than about 1,400 g/3″, a geometric mean tensile energy absorption (GM TEA) of about 20 gocm/cm2 or greater and a TS7 value less than about 16.0. In certain instances, the tissue products also have a low degree of stiffness and a relatively smooth surface, such as a Stiffness Index less than about 8.00 and a TS750 value less than about 20.0.
A multi-ply tissue product comprising a first wet pressed tissue ply and a second wet pressed tissue ply, wherein each of the first and the second wet pressed tissue plies each have a first outer surface and a latex polymer disposed thereon and wherein each of the first and the second wet pressed tissue plies are plied together such that the first outer surfaces face one another, the product having a geometric mean tensile strength (GMT) greater than about 1,400 g/3″, a Stiffness Index from about 5.00 to about 8.00, and a TS7 value less than about 16.0.
