Abstract
A paper web and method of making the paper web are disclosed. In one embodiment the paper web includes a continuous relatively thinner region and a plurality of discrete relatively thicker regions. The relatively thicker regions are disposed in the plane of the relatively thinner region. The paper web can have a relatively patterned face and a relatively smooth face. The paper structures can be dried relatively quickly and efficiently, and can provide enhanced absorbency and bulk density while having a relatively smooth face.

A single ply tissue paper having first and second oppositely facing surfaces, the tissue paper comprising a relatively high density continuous network region, wherein the tissue paper has a surface smoothness ratio greater than about 1.15, and wherein the second surface of the tissue paper has a surface smoothness value of less than about 900.
A two-ply tissue paper wherein each ply of the tissue paper having first and second oppositely facing surface, each ply of the tissue paper comprising a relatively high density continuous network region, wherein each ply of the tissue paper has a surface smoothness ratio greater than about 1.15, and wherein the second surface of each ply of the tissue paper has a surface smoothness value of less than about 900.
