Soft wet pressed facial tissue

Abstract

Multi-ply tissue products, particularly tissue products prepared from two or more wet pressed tissue plies that have been recreped using a print-crepe process that deposits a latex polymer on at least one of the outer surfaces of each tissue ply. 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 g·cm/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.
