A papermaking belt and paper made thereon. The papermaking belt may be a through air drying belt having a plurality of deflection conduits therethrough. The deflection conduits are divided into subconduits by peninsular segments. Likewise, the paper made on the belt has an essentially continuous network and a plurality of domes. Each dome is divided into a plurality of subdomes by peninsular segments in the paper. The papermaking belt may, alternatively, be a forming wire. If so, the forming wire may have a plurality of discrete protuberances extending outwardly from the plane of the forming wire. Each protuberance has at least one slot therein. The slots extend into the discrete protuberance. Likewise, the paper made on this forming wire has a high basis weight essentially continuous network and discrete low basis weight regions corresponding to the discrete protuberances. Each low basis weight region has at least one high basis weight peninsular segment corresponding to the slot in the protuberance.
A paper web comprising:
A paper web comprising an imprinted patterned essentially continuous network region, and a plurality of discrete domes, said domes being dispersed throughout said imprinted network region, said imprinted network region having a higher density than said domes, said paper web further comprising a plurality of peninsular segments extending into said domes, said peninsular segments being circumferentially spaced apart, each said peninsular segment extending from a proximal end contiguous with said essentially continuous network to a distal end, said distal end being disposed within said dome, said plurality of peninsular segments subdividing said dome into a plurality of sub-domes.
A paper web comprising an essentially continuous network having a first basis weight, a plurality of discrete regions disposed within said essentially continuous network, said discrete regions having a second basis weight, said first basis weight being greater than said second basis weight, said paper web further comprising a plurality of peninsular segments, each said peninsular segment extending from said essentially continuous network having said first basis weight into one of said discrete regions, said peninsular segments having a basis weight greater than that of said discrete regions.
