| Full Text | Background Methods of making paper tissue, towel, and the like are well known, including various features such as Yankee drying, throughdrying, fabric creping, dry creping, wet creping and so forth. Convenţional wet pressing (CWP) processes have certain advantages over convenţional through-air drying processes including: (1) lower energy costs associated with the mechanical removal of water rather than transpiration drying with hoţ air; and (2) higher production speeds which are more readily achieved with processes which utilize wet pressing to form a web. On the other hand, through-air drying processing has been adopted for new capital investment, particularly for the production of soft, bulky, premium quality tissue and towel products. Fabric creping has been employed in connection with papermaking processes which include mechanical or compactive dewatering of the paper web as a means to influence product properties. See United States Patent Nos. 4,689,119 and 4,551,199 ofWeldon; 4,849,054 and 4,834,838 ofKlowak; and 6,287,426 of Edwards ei al. Operation of fabric creping processes has been hampered by the difflculty of effectively transfering a web of high or intermediate consistency to a dryer. Note also United States Patent No. 6,350,349 to Hermans ei al. which discloses wet transfer of a web from a rotating transfer surface to a fabric. Futther patents relating to fabric creping more generally include the tbllowing: 4,834,838; 4,482,429 4,445,638 as well as 4,440,597 to Wells ei al. In connection with papermaking processes, fabric molding has also been employed as a means to provide texture and bulk. In this respect, there is seen in United States Patent No. 6,610,173 to Lindsey el al. a method for imprinting a paper web during a wet pressing event which results in asymmetrical protrusions corresponding to the deflection conduits of a deflection member. The ' 173 patent reports that a differential velocity transfer during a pressing event serves to improve the molding and imprinting of a web with a deflection member. The tissue webs produced are reported as having particular sets of physical and geometrica! properties, such as a pattern densified network and a repeating pattern of protrusions having asymmetrical structures. With respect to wet-molding of a web using textured tabrics, .see, ulso, the following United States Patents: 6,017,417 and 5,672,248 both to Wendt el al.; 5,508,818 and 5,5 10,002 to Hermam el al. and 4,637, 859 to Trokhan. With respect to the use of tabrics used to impart te.xture to a mostly dry sheet, see United States Patent No. 6,585,855 to Drew ci «/., as well as United States Publication No. US 2003/00064. Throughdried, creped products are disclosed in the following patents: United States Patent No. 3,994,771 to Morgan, Jr. et al.; United States Patent No. 4,102,737 to Morton; and United States Patent No. 4,529,480 to Trokhan. The processes described in these patents comprise, very generally, forming a web on a foraminous support, thermally pre-drying the web, appiying the web to a Yankee dryer with a nip defined, in part, by an impression fabric, and creping the product from the Yankee dryer. A relatively permeable web is typically required, making it difficult to einploy recycle furnish at levels which may be desired. Transfer to the Yankee typically takes place at web consistencies of from about 60% to about 70%. As noted in the above, throughdried products tend to exhibit enhanced bulk and softness; however, thermal dewatering with hoţ air tends to be energy intensive. Wet-press operations wherein the webs are mechanically dewatered are preferable from an energy perspective and are more readily applied to furnishes conlaining recycle fiber which tends to form webs with less permeability than virgin fiber. Many improvements reiate to increasing the bulk and absorbency of compactively dewatered products which are typically dewatered, in part, with a papermaking telt. United States Patent No. 5,851,353 to Fiscus et al. teaches a method for can drying wet webs for tissue products wherein a partially dewatered wet web is resirained between a pair of molding fabrics. The restrained wet web is processed over a pluralitv of can dryers, for example, from a consistency of about 40 percent tu a consistency of at least about 70 percent. The sheet molding fabrics proiect the web f rom direct contact with the can dryers and im part an impression on the web. Sce al.t o United States Patent No. 5,336,373 to Scattolino ei al. Despite advances in the art, existing wet press processes have not produced the highly absorbent webs with preferred physical properties especially elevated CD stretch at relatively low MD/CD tensile ratios as are sought after for nse in premium tissue and towel products. In accordance with the present invention, the absorbency, bulk and stretch of a wet-pressed web can be vastly improved by wet fabric creping a web and rearranging the fiber on a creping fabric, while preserving the high speed, thermal efficiency, and furnish tolerance to recycle fiber of convenţional wet press processes. The inventive process has the further advantage that existing equipment and facilities can readily be modifled to practice the inventive process, using for example, can dryers which are particularly amenable to recycle energy sources and/or lower grade, less expensive fuels which may be available. Summary of Invention Fabric-creped products of the present invention typically include fiber-enriched regions of relatively elevated basis weight linked together with regions of lower basis weight. Especially preferred products have a drawable reticulum which is capable of expanding, that is, increasing in void volume and bulk when drawn to greater length. This highly unusual and surprising property is further appreciated by considering the photomicrographs of Figures l through 6 and the physical property data of Figures 7 through 12, as well as the other data discussed in the Detailed Description section hereinafter. A photomicrograph of the fiber-enriched region of an undrawn, fabric-creped web is shown in Figure l which is in section along the MD (left to right in the photo). It is seen that the web has microfolds transverse to the machine direction, i.e., the ridges or creases extend in the CD (into the photograph). Figure 2 is a photomicrograph of a web similar to Figure l, wherein the web has been drawn 45%. l Iere it is seen that the microfolds have been expanded, dispersing tlber from the fiber-enriched regions along the machine direction. Without intending to be bound by any theory, it is believed this teature of the invention, rearrangement or unfolding of the material in the fiber-enriched regions, gives rise to the unique macroscopic properties exhibited by the material. Triere is thus provided in accordance with the present invention, a method ofmaking iabric-creped absorbent cellulosic sheet including: compactively dewatering a papermaking furnish to form a nascent web having an apparently random distribution of papermaking tlber; appiying the dewatered web having the apparently random tlber distribution to a translating transfer surface moving at a llrst speed: fabric-creping the web from the transfer surface at a consistency of from about 30 to about 60 percent, the creping step occurring under pressure in a fabric creping nip detlned between the transfer surface and the creping fabric wherein the fabric is traveling at a second speed slower than the speed ofsaid transfer surface.

Preferably, the web so produced has a stretch at break of at least 30% or 45% prior to drawing. In some preferred embodiments, the web has a stretch at break ol at least 60% prior to drawing. A yet further method of making a cellulosic web in accordance with the present invention includes: ibrming a nascent web from a papermaking furnish, the nascent web having a generally random distribution of papermaking fiber; transferring the web having a generally random distribution of papermaking fiber to a translating transfer surface moving at a first speed; drying the web to a consistency of from about 30 to about 60 percent including corn pact i vel y dewatering the web prior to or concurrently with transfer to the transfer surface; l'abric-creping the web from the transfer surface at a consistency of from about 30 to about 60 percent utilizing a creping fabric with a patterned creping surface, the fabric creping step occurring under pressure in a fabric creping nip detlned between the transfer surface and the creping fabric wherein the fabric is traveling at a second speed slower than the speed ofsaid transfer surface. The fabric pattern, nip parameters, velocity delta and web consistency are selected such that the web is creped from the transfer surface and redistributed on the creping fabric such that the web has a plurality of fiber-enriched regions arranged in a pattern corresponding to the patterned creping surface of the fabric. The process further includes: retaining the wet web in the creping fabric; drying the wet web while it is held in the creping fabric to a consistency of at least about 90 percent; and drawing the dried web, the step of drawing the dried web being effective to increase the void volume thereof. In some cases the web is dried with a plurality of can dryers while it is held in the creping fabric; while in other cases the web is dried with an impingement-air dryer while it is held in the creping fabric. In a preferred embodiment, the web is drawn on-!ine; perhaps most prelerably in incremental amounts in a plurality of steps wherein the web is only partially drawn oul in each step. The web may be drawn between a first roii operated at a machine direction velocity greater than the creping fabric velocity and a second roii operated at a machine direction velocity greater than the first roii or belween a pair of nips or a nip and a roii operating at different speeds if so desired. Likewise, the dried web may be calendered on-line. Another method of the invention of making a fabric-creped absorbent cellulosic sheet comprises: compactively dewatering a papermaking furnish to ibrm a nasceni web having an apparently random distribution of papermaking liber; applying the dewatered web having the apparently random liber distribution io a translating transler surface moving at a first speed; fabric-creping the web from the transler surface at a consistency of from about 30 to about 60 percent, the crcping step occurring under pressure in a fabric creping nip defined between the transfer surface and the creping fabric wherein the fabric is traveling at a second speed slower than the speed ofsaid transfer surface. The fabric pattern, nip paramelers, velocity delta and web consistency being selected such that the web is creped from the transfer surface and redistributed on the creping fabric to form a web with a drawable retictilum having a plurality of interconnected regions of different local basis weights including at least (i) a plurality of fiber-enriched regions of high local basis weight, interconnected by way of (ii) a plurality of lower local basis weight linking regions. The process further includes: drying the web; and drawing the web, wherein the web is can-dried in a two-tier can drying section such that both the fabric side of the web and the opposite side of the web contact the surface of at least one dryer can. Two-tier can drying sections are illustrated schematically in Figures 31 and Figure 33. Cellulosic absorbent sheet of the invention may be made by way of: preparing a cellulosic web from an aqueous papermaking furnish, the web being provided with a plurality of tlber-enriched regions with a drawable reticulum having relatively high local basis weight interconnected by way of a plurality of lower basis weight linking regions, the reticulum being further characterized in that it comprises a cohesive fiber matrix capable of increase in void volume upon drawing; drying the web while substantially preserving the drawable fiber reticulum and thereafter drawing the web. In connection with this method, web ma> be dried to a consistency of at least about 90% or 92% prior to drawing. Urawing the web increases bulk and void volume; however drawing decreases sidedness. The results are both highly desirable and unexpected. Superior results are acliieved with furnish comprising secondary liber. A particulari)' unusual feature of the invention is that drawing the web decreases the caliper of the web less than its basis weight. Generally, the ratio of percenl decrease in caliper/percent decrease in basis weight of the web is less than l upon drawing the web; typically, the ratio of percent decrease in caliper/percent decrease in basis weight of the web is less than about 0.85 upon drawing the web; and preferably the ratio of percent decrease in caliper/percent decrease in basis weight of the web is less than about 0.7 upon drawing the web. In an especially preferred embodiment, the ratio of percent decrease in caliper/percent decrease in basis weight of the web is less than about 0.6 upon drawing the web. Further aspects of the inventive process are: preparing a cellulosic web with a drawable reticulum provided with a plurality of microfolds with fold lines Iransverse to the machine direction; drying the web by way of contacting the web with a dryer surtace wherein the drawable reticulum of the web is substantially preserved and wherein the dried web is characterized in that the microfolds may be expanded by drawing the web, whereby the void volume of the web is increased. The web may be provided to a single-tier or two-tier can-drying section at a consistency of less than about 70% and dried to a consistency of greater than about 90% in the single-tier drying section. Methods of making cellulosic absorbent sheet of the invention include: preparing a cellulosic web from an aqueous papermaking furnish; the web being provided with an expandable reticulum having relatively high local basis weight liber enriched regions interconnected by way of a plurality of lower basis weight linking regions; drying the web while substantially preserving the expandable tibet- reticulum; and expanding the dried web to increase its void volume. The liber enriched regions typically have liber bias in the CD and the linking regions typically have liber bias along a direction between fiber enriched regions. The dried web may be expanded to increase its void volume by at least about l g/g; at least boul 2 g/g; or at least about 3 g/g. Products ofthe invention include an absorbent cellulosic web comprising a plurality of fiber-enriched regions of relatively high local basis weight interconnecled by a plurality of lower local basis weight regions, characterized in that drawing the web increases the void volume thereof. In many cases, is capable of an increase in void volume of up to about 25%, 35%, 50% or more upon drawing. In one preferred embodiment, drawing the web by 30% increases the void volume by at least about 5% and in another, dry-drawing the web by 45% increases the void volume by at least about 20%. Another product ofthe invention is an absorbent cellulosic web comprising a plurality of fiber-enriched regions of relatively high local basis weight interconnected by a plurality of lower local basis weight regions, characterized in that drawing the web increases the bulk thereof. Typically, drawing the web by 30% increases the bulk thereof by at least about 5% and drawing the web by 45% increases the bulk thereof by at least about 10%. Yel other products are absorbent cellulosic webs comprising a plurality of fiber-enriched regions of relatively high local basis weight interconnected by a plurality of lower local basis weight regions, characterized in that drawing the vveb is effective to decrease the sidedness thereof and preferenţial ly attenuate the fiber enriched regions. The absorbent cellulosic web products may incorporate secondary fiber, sometimes at least 50% or over 50% by weight secondary fiber. As noted above, the products have the unusual and surprising feature that caliper ofthe web decreases more slowly than basis weight upon drawing the web such as wherein the ratio of percent decrease in caliper/percent decrease in basis weight ofthe web is less than about 0.85 upon drawing the web. Preferably, the ratio of percent decrease in caliper/percent decrease in basis weight ofthe web is less than about 0.7 upon drawing the web. In some especially preferred products, the ratio of percent decrease in caliper/percent decrease in basis weight ofthe web is less than about 0.6 upon drawing the web. Generally, the web products ofthe invention have a basis weight of from about 5 to about 30 Ibs per 3000 square feet rea m. Another unique aspect of products of the invention is that they include recovered creped material as part of the product matrix. Typically, the web has a recovered crepe of at least about 10%. A recovered crepe of at least about 25%; at least about 50%; or at least about 100% is desirable in some products. The invention provides an absorbent cellulosic web with an expandable reticulum of fiber enriched, relatively high basis weight regions interconnected by vvay of lower basis weight linking regions, characterized in that the void volume of the web may be increased by expanding the fiber enriched regions. In preferred embodiinents, the fiber enriched regions have fiber bias in the CD and the linking regions have fiber bias along a direction between fiber enriched regions and the liber enriched regions are provided with a plurality of microfolds with fold lines transverse to the machine direction. The absorbent cellulosic web may be expanded to increase its void volume from the as-dried condition (or with respect to a like web that is unexpanded) by at least about l g/g; at least about 2 g/g; at leasl about 3 g/g or more.

Detailed Description The invention is described in detail below with reference to several embodiments and numerous examples. Such discussion is for purposes of illustration only. Modifications to particular examples within the spirit and scope ol the present invention, set forth in the appended claims, will be readily apparent to one of skill in the art. Terminology used herein is given its ordinary meaning consistent with the exemplary definitions set forth immediately below. Throughout this specification and claims, when we refer to a nascent web haviiig an apparently random distribution of tlber orientation (or u se like terminology), we are referring to the distribution of fiber orientation that results when known forming techniques are used for depositing a furnish on the forming fabric. When examined microscopically, the fibers give the appearance of being randomly oriented even though, depending on the jet to wire speed, there may be a significant bias toward machine direction orientation making the machine direction tensile strength of the web exceed the cross-direction tensile strength. Unless otherwise specified, 'basis weight", BWT, bwt and so forth refers io the weight of a 3000 square foot ream of product. Consistency refers to percent solids of a nascent web, for example, calculated on a bone dry basis. "Air dry" means including residual moisture, by convention up to about 10 percent moisture for pulp and up to about 6% for paper. A nascent web having 50 percent water and 50 percent bone dry pulp has a consistency of 50 percent. The term "cellulosic", "'cellulosic sheet" and the like is meant to include an> product incorporating papermaking fiber having cellulose as a major constituent. "Papermaking fibers" include virgin pulps or recycle (secondary) cellulosic tlbers or fiber mixes comprising cellulosic tlbers. Fibers suitable tor making the webs ofthis invention include: nonwood fibers, such as cotton tlbers or cotton derivatives, abaca, kenaf, sabai grass, flax, esparto grass, straw, jute hemp, bagasse, milkweed floss fibers, and pineapple leaf fibers; and wood fibers such as those obtained from deciduous and coniferous trees, including softwood fibers, such as northern and southern softwood kraft tlbers; hardwood fibers, such as eucalyptus, maple, birch, aspen, or the like. Papermaking fibers can be liberated from their source material by any one of a number of chemical pulping processes familiar to one experienced in the art including sulfate, sulfite, polysulfide, soda pulping, etc. The pulp can be bleached if desired by chemical means including the use of chlorine, chlorine dioxide, oxygen, alkaline peroxide and so forth. The products of the present invention may comprise a blend of convenţional fibers (whether derived from virgin pulp or recycle sources) and high coarseness lignin-rich tubular fibers, such as bleached chemical thennomechanical pulp (BCTMP). "Furnishes" and like terminology refers to aqueous compositions including papermaking fibers, optionally wet strength resins, debonders and the like for making paper products. "Can drying" refers to drying a web by contacting a web with a dryer drum while not adhering the web to the dryer surface, typically while the web is also in contact with a fabric. In a single-tier system, only one side of the web contacts the drums, while in a convenţional two-tier system, both sides of the web contact dryer surtaces as will be appreciated from Figures 32 and 33, discussed hereafter. As used herein, the term compactively dewatering the web or furnish refers to mechanical dewatering by wet pressing on a dewatering felt, for example, in some embodiments by use of mechanical pressure applied continuously over the web surface as in a nip between a press roii and a press shoe wherein the web is in contact w ith a papermaking felt. The terminology "compactively dewatering" is used to distinguish processes wherein the iniţial dewatering of the web is carried out largely by thermal means as is the case, for example, in United States Patent No. 4,529,480 to Trokhan and United States Patent No. 5,607,551 to Furringion el al. noted above. Compactively dewatering a web thus refers, for example, to removing water from a nascent web having a consistency of less than 30 percent or so by application of pressure thereto and/or increasing the consistency of the web by about 15 percent or more by application of pressure thereto. Creping fabric and like terminology refers to a fabric or belt which bears a pattern suitable for practicing the process of the present invention and preferably is permeable enough such that the web may be dried while it is held in the creping fabric. In cases where the web is transferred to another fabric or surface (other than the creping fabric) for drying, the creping fabric may have lower permeability. "Fabric side" and like terminology refers to the side of the web which is in contact with the creping and drying fabric. "Dryer side" or "can side" is the side of the web opposite the fabric side of the web. Fpm refers to feet per minute while consistency refers to the weight percent tlber of the web. MD means machine direction and CD means cross-machine direction. Nip parameters include, without limitation, nip pressure, nip length, backing roii hardness, fabric approach angle, fabric takeaway angle, uniformity, and velocity delta between surfaces of the nip. Nip length means the length over which the nip surfaces are in contact. The drawable reticulum is "substantially preserved" when the web is capable of exhibiting a void volume increase upon drawing. "On line" and like terminology refers to a process step performed without removing the web from the papermachine in which the web is produced. A web is ctrawn or culendered on line when it is drawn or calendered without being severed prior to wind-up. A translating transfer surface refers to the surface from which the web is creped into the creping fabric. The translating transfer surface may be the surface of a rotating drum as described hereafter, or may be the surface of a continuous smooth inoving belt or another moving fabric which may have surface texture and so forth. The translating transfer surface needs to support the web and facilitate the high solids creping as will be appreciated from the discussion which follows. Caltpers and or bulk reported herein may be measured using l, 4 or 8 sheet calipers as specified. The sheets are stacked and the caliper measurement taken about the central portion of the stack. Preferably, the test samples are conditioned in an atmosphere of 23° ± l ,0°C (73.4° ± l .8°F) at 50% relative humidity for at least about 2 hours and then measured with a Thwing-Albert Model 89-II-JR or Progage Electronic Thickness Tester with 2-in (50.8-mm) diameter anvils, 539 ± 10 grams dead weight load, and 0.231 in./sec descent rate. For fmished product testing, each sheet of product to be tested must have the same number of plies as the product is sold. For testing in general, eight sheets are selected and stacked together. For napkin testing, napkins are unfolded prior to stacking. For basesheet testing off of winders, each sheet to be tested must have the same number of plies as produced off the vvinder. For basesheet testing off of the papermachine reel, single plies must be used. Sheets are stacked together aligned in the MD. On custom embossed or printed product, avoid measurements in these areas if at all possible. Bulk may also be expressed in units of volume/weight by dividing caliper by basis weight. Absorbency of the inventive products is measured with a simple absorbency tester. The simple absorbency tester is a particularly useful apparatus for measuring the hydrophilicity and absorbency properties of a sample of tissue, napkins, or towel. In this test a sample of tissue, napkins, or towel 2.0 inches in diameter is mounted between a top flat plastic cover and a bottom grooved sample plate. The lissue, napkin, or towel sample disc is held in place by a 1/8 inch wide circumference flange area. The sample is not compressed by the holder. De-ionized water at 73°P' is introduced to the sample at the center of the bottom sample plate through a l mm. diameter conduit. This water is at a hydrostatic head of minus 5 mm. Flow is initiated by a puise introduced at the start of the measurement by the instrument mechanism. Water is thus imbibed by the tissue, napkin, or towel sample from this central entrance point radially outward by capillary action. When the rate of water imbibation decreases below 0.005 gm water per 5 seconds, the test is terminated. The amount of water removed from the reservoir and absorbed by the sample is weighed and reported as grams of water per square meter of sample or grams of water per gram of sheet. In practice, an M/K Systems Inc. Gravimetric Absorbency Testing System is used. This is a commercial system obtainable from M/K Systems Inc., 12 Garden Street, Danvers, Mass., 01923. WAC or water absorbent capacity also referred to as SAT is actually determined by the instrument itself. WAC is defmed as the point where the weight versus time graph has a "zero" slope, i.e., the sample has stopped absorbing. The termination criteria for a test are expressed in maximum change in water weight absorbed over a fixed time period. This is basically an estimate of zero slope on the weight versus time graph. The program uses a change of 0.005g over a 5 second time interval as termination criteria; unless "SIow SAT" is specified in which case the cut off criteria is l mg in 20 seconds. Dry tensile strengths (MD and CD), stretch, ratios thereof, modulus, break modulus, stress and străin are measured with a standard Instron test device or other suitable elongation tensile tester which may be configured in various ways, typically using 3 or l inch wide strips of tissue or towel, conditioned in an atmosphere of 23° ± 1°C (73.4° ± 1°F) at 50% relative humidity for 2 hours. The tensile test is run at a crosshead speed of 2 in/min. Modulus is expressed in Ibs/inch per inch of elongation unless otherwise indicated. Tensile ratios are simply ratios of the values determined by way of the foregoing methods. Unless otherwise specified, a tensile property is a dry sheet property. "Fabric crepe ratio" is an expression of the speed difterential between the creping fabric and the forming wire and typically calculated as the ratio of the web speed immediately before fabric creping and the web speed immediately following fabric creping, the forming wire and transfer surface being typically, but noi necessarily. operated al the same speed: Fabric crepe ratio = transfer cylinder speed -4- creping fabric speed Fabric crepe can also be expressed as a percentage calculated as: Fabric crepe, percent, = [ Fabric crepe ratio - l ] x 100% A web creped from a transfer cylinder with a surface speed of 750 fpm to a fabric with a velocity of 500 fpm has a fabric crepe ratio of l .5 and a fabric crepe of 50%. The draw ratio is calculated similarly, typically as the ratio of winding speed io the creping fabric speed. Draw may be expressed as a percentage by subtracting l from the draw ratio and multiply by 100%. The "pullout" or "draw" applied to a test specimen is calculated from the ratio of final length divided by its length prior to elongation. Unless otherwise specified, draw reters to elongation with respect to the length of the as-dried web. This quantity may also be expressed as a percentage. For example a 4" test specimen drawn to 5" has a draw ratio of 5/4 or l .25 and a draw of 25%. The total crepe ratio is calculated as the ratio of the forming wire speed to the reel speed and a % tolal crepe is: Total Crepe % = [Total Crepe Ratio - l]x 100% A process with a forming wire speed of 2000 fpm and a reel speed of 1000 fpm has a line or total crepe ratio of 2 and a total crepe of 100%. The recovered crepe of a web is the ameninţ of fabric crepe removed when the web is elongated or drawn. This quantity is calculated as follows and expressed as a percentage: Recovered Crepe % % Total Crepe % Fabric Crepe x 100% A process with a total crepe of 25% and fabric crepe of 50% has a recovered crepe of 50%. Recovered crepe is referred to as the crepe recovery when quantifying the amoiint of crepe and draw applied to a particular web. Sample calculations of the various quantities for a papermachine 40 of the type shown in Figure 31 provided with a tbrming wire 52 a transfer cylinder 76, a creping fabric 80 as well as a take up reel 106 are given in Table l below. Recovered fabric crepe is a product atlribute which relates to bulk and void volume as is seen in the Figures and Kxamples below. (Table Removed) Table l - Sample Caiculations of Fabric Crepe. Dravv and Recovered Crepe Wire Cre Friction values and sidedness are calculated by a modification to the TMI method discussed in United States Patent No. 6,827,819 to Dwiggin.s el al., this moditied method is described below. A percent change in friction value or sidedness upon drawing is based on the difference between the iniţial value without draw and the drawn value, divided by the iniţial value and expressed as a percentage. Sidedness and friction deviation measurements can be accomplished using a Lab Maşter Slip & Friction tester, with special high-sensitivity load measuring option and custom top and sample support block, Model 32-90 available from: Testing Machines Inc. 2910 Expressway Drive South Islandia, N.Y. 11722 800-678-3221 www.testingmachines.com adapted to accept a Friction Sensor, available from: Noriyuki Uezumi Kato Tech Co., Ltd. Kyoto Branch Office Nihon-Seimei-Kyoto-Santetsu Bldg. 3F Higashishiokoji-Agaru, Nishinotoin-Dori Shimogyo-ku, Kyoto 600-8216 Japan 81-75-361-6360 katotech(S)mx l .alpha-web.ne.j p The software for the Lab Maşter Slip and Friction tester is modified to allow it to: (l) retrieve and directly record instantaneous data on the force exerted on the friction sensor as it moves across the samples; (2) compute an average for that data; (3) calculate the deviation-absolute value of the difference between each of the instantaneous data points and the calculated mean; and (4) calculate a mean deviation over the scan to be reported in grams. Prior to testing, the test samples should be conditioned in an atmosphere of 23.0° ± ]°C. (73.4° ± l .8°F) and 50% ± 2% R.H. Testing should also be conducted at these conditions. The samples should be handled by edges and corners only and any touching of the area of the sample to be tested should be minimized as the samples are delicate, and physical properties may be easily changed by rough handling or transfer of oils from the hands of the tester. The samples to be tested are prepared, using a paper cutter to get straight edges, as 3-inch wide (CD) by 5-inch long (MD) strips; any sheets with obvious imperfections being removed and replaced with acceptable sheets. These dimensions correspond to those of a standard tensile test, allowing the same specimen to be first elongated in the tensile tester, then tested for surface friction. Each specimen is placed on the sample table of the tester and the edges of the specimen are aligned with the front edge of the sample table and the chucking device. A metal trame is placed on top of the specimen in the center of the sample table while ensuring that the specimen is flat beneath the trame by gently smoothing the outside edges of the sheet. The sensor is placed care fu l ly on the specimen with the sensor arm in the middle of the sensor holder. Two MD-scans are run on each side of each specimen. To compute the TM1 Friction Value of a sample, two MD scans of the sensor head are run on each side of each sheet, where The Average Deviation value from the first MD scan of the fabric side of the sheet is recorded as MD| i; the result obtained on the second scan on the fabric side of the sheet is recorded as MD|.3 M DD i and MDo2 are the results of the scans run on the Dryer side (Can or Yankee side) of the sheet. The TM1 Friction Value for the fabric side is calculated as follows: Likewise, the TMI Friction Value for the dryer side is calculated as: An overall Sheet Friction Value can be calculated as the average of the abric side and the dryer side, as follows: (Figure Removed) Leading to Sidedness as an indication of how much the friction differs between the two sides of the sheet. The sidedness is defmed as: (Figure Removed) here "U" and "L" subscripts refer to the upper and lower values of the friction deviation of the two sides (Fabric and Dryer)—that is the larger Friction value is always placed in the numerator. For fabric-creped products, the fabric side friction value will be higher than the dryer side friction value. Sidedness takes into account not only the relative ditTerence between the two sides of the sheet but the overall friction level. Accordingly, low sidedness values are normally preferred. PLI or pli means pounds force per linear inch. Pusey and Jones (P&J) hardness (indentation) is measured in accordance with ASTM D 531, and refers to the indentation number (standard specimen and conditions). Velocity delta means a difference in linear speed. The void volume and /or void volume ratio as referred to hereafter, are determined by saturating a sheet with a nonpolar POROFIL " liquid and measuring the amount of liquid absorbed. The volume of liquid absorbed is equivalent to the void volume within the sheet structure. The percent weight increase (PWI) is expressed as grams of liquid absorbed per gram of fiber in the sheet structure times 100, as noted hereinafter. More specificai ly, for each single-ply sheet sample to be tested, select 8 sheets and cut out a l inch by l inch square (l inch in the machine direction and l inch in the cross-machine direction). For multi-ply product samples, each ply is measured as a separate entity. Multiple samples should be separated into individual single plies and 8 sheets from each ply position used for testing. To measure absorbency, weigh and record the dry weight of each test specimen to the nearest 0.0001 gram. Place the specimen in a dish containing POROFIL * liquid having a specific gravity of 1.875 grams per cubic centimeter, available from Coulter Electronics Ltd., Northwell Drive, Luton, Beds, England; Part No. 9902458.) After 10 seconds, grasp the specimen at the very edge (1-2 Millimeters in) of one corner with tweezers and remove from the liquid. Hold the specimen with that corner uppermost and allow excess liquid to drip for 30 seconds. Lightly dab (less than 1/2 second contact) the lower corner of the specimen on #4 filter paper (Whatman Lt., Maidstone, England) in orderto remove any excess of the last parţial drop. Immediately weigh the specimen, within 10 seconds, recording the weight to the nearest 0.0001 gram. The PWI for each specimen, expressed as grams of POROFIL * liquid per gram of fiber, is calculated as tbllows: PWI = [(W2-W|)/Wi] X 100% Wherein "WT is the dry weight of the specimen, in grams; and "W:" is îhe wet weight of the specimen, in grams. The PW1 for all eight individual specimens is determined as described above and the average of the eight specimens is the PW1 for the sample. The void volume ratio is calculated by dividing the PWI by l .9 (density of fluid) to express the ratio as a percentage, whereas the void volume (gms/gm) is simply the vveight increase ratio; that is, PWI divided by 100. During fabric creping in a pressure nip, the fiber is redistributed on the fabric, making the process tolerant of less than ideal forming conditions, as are sometimes seen with a Fourdrinier former. The forming section of a Fourdrinier machine includes two major parts, the headbox and the Fourdrinier Table. The latter consists of the wire run over the various drainage-controlling devices. The actual forming occurs along the Fourdrinier Table. The hydrodynamic effects of drainage, oriented shear, and turbulence generated along the table are generally the control ling factors in the forming process. Of course, the headbox also has an important intluence in the process, usually on a scale that is much larger than the structural elements of the paper web. Thus the headbox may căuşe such large-scale effects as variations in distribution of flow rates, velocities, and concentrations across the full width of the machine; vortex streaks generated ahead of and aligned in the machine direction by the accelerating flow in the approach to the slice; and time-varying surges or pulsations of flow to the headbox. The existence of MD-aligned vortices in headbox discharges is common. Fourdrinier formers are further described in The Sheet Forming Process, Parker, J.D., Ed., TAPPI Press (1972, reissued 1994) Atlanta, GA. According to the present invention, an absorbent paper web is made by dispersing papermaking fibers into aqueous furnish (slurry) and depositing the aqueous furnish onto the forming wire of a papermaking machine. Any suitable forming scheme might be used. For example, an extensive but non-exhaustive list in addition to Fourdrinier formers includes a crescent former, a C-wrap twin wire former, an S-vvrap twin wire former, or a suction breast roii former. The forming fabric can be any suitable tbraminous member including single layer fabrics, double layer fabrics, triple layer fabrics, photopolymer fabrics, and the like. Non- exhaustive background art in the forming fabric area includes United States Patent Nos. 4.157,276; 4,605,585; 4,161,195; 3,545,705; 3,549,742; 3,858,623; 4,041,989: 4,071,050; 4,1 12,982; 4,149,571; 4,182,381; 4,184,5 19; 4,314,589; 4,359,069; 4,376,455; 4,379,735; 4,453,573; 4,564,052; 4,592,395; 4,611,639; 4.640,741; 4,709,732; 4.759,391; 4,759,976; 4,942,077; 4,967,085; 4,998,568; 5.016,678; 5,054,525; 5,066,532; 5,098,519; 5,103,874; 5,114,777; 5,167,261; 5,199.261; 5,199,467; 5,211,815; 5,219,004; 5,245,025; 5,277,761; 5,328,565; and 5,379,808 all of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety. One forming fabric particularly useful with the present invention is Voith Fabrics Forming Fabric 2164 made by Voith Fabrics Corporation, Shreveport, LA. Foam-tbrming of the aqueous furnish on a forming wire or fabric may be employed as a means for controlling the permeability or void volume of the sheet upon fabric-creping. Foam-forming techniques are disclosed in United States Patent No. 4,543,156 and Canadian Patent No. 2,053,505, the disclosures of which are incorporated herein by reference. The foamed fiber furnish is made up from an aqueous slurry of fibers mixed with a foamed liquid carrier just prior to its introduction to the headbox. The pulp slurry supplied to the system has a consistency in the range of trom about 0.5 to about 7 weight percent fibers, preferably in the range of trom about 2.5 to about 4.5 weight percent. The pulp slurry is added to a foamed liquid comprising water, air and surfactant containing 50 to 80 percent air by volume forming a foamed fiber furnish having a consistency in the range of trom about 0.1 to about 3 weight percent tlber by simple mixing trom natural turbulence and mixing inherent in the process elements. The addition of the pulp as a low consistency slurry results in excess foamed liquid recovered from the forming wires. The excess foamed liquid is discharged from the system and may be used elsewhere or treated for recovery of surfactant therefrom. The furnish may contain chemical additives to alter the physical properties of the paper produced. These chemistries are well understood by the skilled artisan and may be used in any known combination. Such additives may be surface moditlers, softeners, debonders, strength aids, latexes, opacifiers, optical brighteners, dyes, pigments, sizing agents, barrier chemicals, retention aids, insolubilizers, organic or inorganic crosslinkers, or combinations thereof; said chemicals optionally comprising polyols, starches, PPG esters, PEG esters, phospholipids, surtactants, polyamines, HMCP (Hydrophobically Modified Cationic Polymers), HMAP (Hydrophobically Moditled Anionic Polymers) or the like. The pulp can be mixed with strength adjusting agents such as wet strength agents, dry strength agents and debonders/softeners and so forth. Suitable wet sirength agents are known to the skilled artisan. A comprehensive but non-exhaustive list ofuseful strength aids include urea-formaldehyde resins, melamine Ibrmaldehyde resins, glyoxylated polyacrylamide resins, polyamide-epichlorohydrin resins and the like. Thermosetting polyacrylamides are produced by reacting acrylamide with diallyl dimethyl ammonium chloride (DADMAC) to produce a cationic polyacrylamide copolymer which is ultimately reacted with glyoxal to produce a cationic cross-linking wet strength resin, glyoxylated polyacrylamide. These materials are generally described in United States Patent Nos. 3,556,932 to Coxcici et ui. and 3,556,933 to Williams et al., both of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety. Resins ofthis type are eommercially available under the trade name of PAREZ 631 NC by Bayer Corporation. Different mole ratios of acrylamide/-DADMAC/glyoxal can be used to produce cross-linking resins, which are useful as wet strength agents. Furthermore, other dialdehydes can be substituted for glyoxal to produce thermosetting wet strength characteristics. Of particular utility are the polyamide-epichlorohydrin wet strength resins, an example of which is sold under the trade names Kymene 557LX and Kymene 557H by Hercules Incorporated of Wilmington, Delaware and Amres® from Georgia-Pacific Resins, Inc. These resins and the process for making the resins are described in United States Patent No. 3,700,623 and United States Patent No. 3,772,076 each of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. An extensive description of polyineric-epihalohydrin resins is given in Chapter 2: Alkaline-Ciiring Polymeric A m i n e - E p i c h l o ro h y d r i n by Espy in Wet Strength Resins and Their Application (L. C.'han, Editor. 1994), herein incorporated by reference in its entirety. A reasonably comprehensive list of wet strength resins is described by Westfelt in Cellulose ('hemisiry unii Technology Volume 13, p. 813, 1979, which is incorporated herein by reference. Suilable temporary wet strength agents may likewise be included. A comprehensive but non-exhaustive list of useful temporary wet strength agents includes aliphatic and aromatic aldehydes including glyoxal, malonic dialdehyde, succinic dialdehyde, glutaraldehyde and dialdehyde starches, as well as substituted or reacted starches, disaccharides, polysaccharides, chitosan, or other reacled polymeric reaction products of monomers or polymers having aldehyde groups, and optionally, nitrogen groups. Representative nitrogen containing polymers, which can suitably be reacted with the aldehyde containing monomers or polymers, includes vinyl-amides, acrylamides and related nitrogen containing polymers. These polymers impart a positive charge to the aldehyde containing reaction product. In addition, other commercially available temporary wet strength agents, sucii as. PAREZ 745, manufactured by Bayer can be used, along with those disclosed, for example in United States Patent No. 4,605,702. The temporary wet strength resin may be any one of a variety of water-soluble organic polymers comprising aldehydic units and cationic units used to increase dry and wet tensile strength of a paper product. Such resins are described in United States Patent Nos. 4,675,394; 5,240,562; 5,138,002; 5,085,736; 4,981,557; 5,008,344; 4,603,176; 4,983,748; 4,866,151; 4,804,769 and 5,217,576. Modified starches sold under the trademarks CO-BOND® 1000 and CO-BOND® 1000 Plus, by National Starch and Chemical Company of Bridgewater, N.J. may be used. Prior to use, the cationic aldehydic water soluble polymer can be prepared by preheating an aqueous slurry of approximately 5% solids maintained at a temperature of approximately 240 degrees Fahrenheit and a pH of about 2.7 for approximately 3.5 minutes. Finally, the slurry can be quenched and diluted by adding water to produce a mixture of approximately l .0% solids at less than about 130 degrees Fahrenheit. Other temporary wet strength agents, also available from National Starch and Chemical Company are sold under the trademarks CO-BOND® 1600 and CO-BOND® 2300. These starches are supplied as aqueous colloidal dispersions and do not require preheating prior to use. Temporary wet strength agents such as glyoxylated polyacrylamide can be used. Temporary wet strength agents such glyoxylated polyacrylamide resins are produced by reacting acrylamide with diallyl dimethyl ammonium chloride (DADMAC) to produce a cationic polyacrylamide copolymer which is ultimately reacted with glyoxal to produce a cationic cross-linking temporary or semi-permanent wet strength resin, glyoxylated polyacrylamide. These materials are generally described in United States Patent No. 3,556,932 to Coscia el al. and United States Patent No. 3,556,933 to Williams el a/., both of which are incorporated herein by reference. Resins of this type are commercially available under the trade name of PAREZ 63 INC, by Bayer Industries. Different mole ratios of acryiamide/DADMAC/glyoxal can be used to produce cross-linking resins, which are useful as wet strength agents. Furthermore, other dialdehydes can be substituted for glyoxal to produce wet strength characteristics. Suitable dry strength agents include starch, guar gum, polyacrylamides, carboxymethyl cellulose and the like. Of particular utility is carboxymethyl cellulose, an example of which is sold under the trade name Hercules CMC, by Hercules Incorporated of W'ilmington, Delaware. According to one embodiment, the pulp m a y contain from about O to about 15 Ib/ton of dry strength agent. According to another embodiment, the pulp may contain from about l to about 5 Ibs/ton of dry strength agent. Suitable debonders are likewise known to the skilled artisan. Debonders or softeners may also be incorporated into the pulp or sprayed upon the web after ils formation. The present invention may also be used with softener materials including but not limited to the class of amido amine salts derived from partially acid neutrali/.ed amines. Such materials are disclosed in United States Patent No. 4,720,383. Evans, Chemislry andInchistry, 5 July 1969, pp. 893-903; Egan, J.Am. Oii Chcmisl 's Soc., Voi. 55 (1978), pp. 118-121; and Trivedi et al.,J.Am.Oil ('hcmisi 'v Soc., June 1981, pp. 754-756, incorporated by reference in their entirety, indicate that softeners are often available commercially only as complex mixtures rather than as single compounds. While the following discussion will tbcus on the predominant species, it should be understood that commercially available mixtures would generally be used in practice. Quasoft 202-JR is a suitable softener material, which may be derived by alkylating a condensation product of oleic acid and diethylenetriamine. Synthesis conditions using a deficiency of alkylation agent (e.g., diethyl sulfate) and only one alkylating step, tbllowed by pH adjustment to protonate the non-ethylated species, result in a mixture consisting of cationic ethylated and cationic non-ethylated species. A minor proportion (e.g., about 10%) of the resulting amido amine cyclize to imidazoline compounds. Since only the imidazoline portions of these materials are quaternary ammonium compounds, the compositions as a vvhole are pH-sensitive. Therefore, in the practice of the present invention with this class of chemicals, the pH in the head box should be approximately 6 to 8, more preferably 6 to 7 and most preferably 6.5 to 7. Quaternary ammonium compounds, such as dialkyl dimethyl quaternary ammonium salts are also suitable particularly when the alkyl groups contain from about l O to 24 carbon atoms. These compounds have the advantage of being relatively insensitive to pH. Biodegradable softeners can be utilized. Representative biodegradable cationic softeners/debonders are disclosed in United States Patent Nos. 5,312,522; 5,415,737; 5,262,007; 5,264,082; and 5.223,096, all of which are incorporated herein by reierence in their entirety. The compounds are biodegradable diesters of quaternary ammonia compounds, quaternized amine-esters, and biodegradable vegetable oii based esters funcţional with quaternary ammonium chioride and diester dierucyldimethyl ammonium chioride and are representative biodegradable softeners. In some embodiments, a particularly preferred debonder composition includes a quaternary amine component as well as a nonionic surfactant. The nascent web is typically dewatered on a papermaking felt, Any suitable felt may be used. For example, felts can have double-layer base weaves, triple-layer base weaves, or laminated base weaves. Preferred felts are those having the laminated base weave design. A wet-press-felt which may be particularly u se fu l with the present invention is Vector 3 made by Voith Fabric. Background art in the press felt area includes United States Patent Nos. 5,657,797; 5,368,696; 4,973,512; 5,023,132; 5,225,269; 5,182,164; 5,372,876; and 5,618,612. A difterential pressing felt as is disclosed in United States Patent No. 4,533,437 to Ciirmn et al. may likewise be utilized. Suitable creping fabrics include single layer, multi-layer, or composite preferably open meshed structures. Fabrics may have at least one of the following characteristics: (l) on the side of the creping fabric that is in contact with the wet web (the "top" side), the number of machine direction (MD) strands per inch (mesh) is from 10 to 200 and the number of cross-direction (CD) strands per inch (cotim) is also from 10 to 200; (2) The ştrand diameter is typically smalier than 0.050 inch; (3) on the top side, the distance between the highest point of the MD knuckles and the highest point on the CD knuckles is from about 0.001 to about 0.02 or 0.03 inch; (4) In between these two levels there can be knuckles formed either by MD or CD strands that give the topography a three dimensional hill/valley appearance which is imparted to the sheet; (5) The fabric may be oriented in any suitable way so as to achieve the desired effect on processing and on properties in the product; the long warp knuckles may be on the top side to increase MD ridges in the product, or the long shute knuckles may be on the top side it'more C'D ridges are desired to influence creping characteristics as the web is transferred from the transfer cylinder to the creping fabric; and (6) the fabric may be made to show certam geometric patterns that are pleasing to the eye, which is typically repeated between every two to 50 warp yarns. Suitable commercially available coarse fabrics include a number of fabrics made by Voith Fabrics. The creping fabric may thus be of the class described in United States Patent No. 5,607,551 to Farrington et al, Cols. 7-8 thereof, as well as Ihe fabrics described in United States Patent No. 4,239,065 to Trokhan and United States Patent No. 3,974,025 to Ayers. Such fabrics may have about 20 to about 60 tilaments per inch and are formed from monofilament polymeric fibers having diameters typically ranging from about 0.008 to about 0.025 inches. Both warp and vveft monofllaments may, but need not necessarily be of the same diameter. In some cases the fllaments are so woven and complimentarily serpentinely configured in at least the Z-direction (the thickness of the fabric) to provide a first grouping or array of coplanar top-surface-plane crossovers of both sets of fllaments; and a predetermined second grouping or array of sub-top-surface crossovers. The arrays are interspersed so that portions of the top-surface-plane crossovers deţine an array of wicker-basket-like cavities in the top surface of the fabric vvhich cavities are disposed in staggered relation in both the machine direction (MD) and the cross-machine direction (CD), and so that each cavity spans at least one sub-top-surface crossover. The cavities are discretely perimetrically enclosed in the plan view by a picket-like-lineament comprising portions of a plurality of the top-surface plane crossovers. The loop of fabric may comprise heat set monofllaments of thermoplastic material; the top surfaces of the coplanar top-surface-plane crossovers may be monoplanar flat surfaces. Specific embodiments of the invention include satin weaves as well as hybrid weaves of three or greater sheds, and mesh counts of from about 10 X 10 to about 120 X 120 fllaments per inch (4X4 to about 47 X 47 per centimeter), although the preierred range of mesh counts is from about 18 by 16 to about 55 by 48 fllaments per inch (9 X 8 to about 22 X 19 per centimeter). Instead of an impression fabric, a dryer fabric may be used as the creping fabric i f so desired. Suitable fabrics are described in United States Patent Nos. 5,449,026 (woven style) and 5,690,149 (stacked MD tape yarn style) to Lee as well as United States Patent No. 4,490,925 to Smith (spiral style). Iţa l-'ourdrinier former or other gap former is used as is shown in Figure 31. the nascent web may be conditioned with vacuum boxes and a steam shroud until it reaches a solids content suitable for transferring to a dewatering felt. The nascent web may be transferred with vacuum assistance to the felt. In a crescent former, usc of vacuum assist is unnecessary as the nascent web is formed between the forming fabric and the felt. A preferred way of practicing the invention includes can-drying the web vvhile it is in contact with the creping fabric which also serves as the drying fabric. Can drying can be used alone or in combination with impingement air drying, the combination being especially convenient ifa two tier drying section layout is available as hereinafter described. Impingement air drying may also be used as the only means of drying the web as it is held in the fabric if so desired or either may be used in combination with can dryers. Suitable rotary impingement air drying equipment is described in United States Patent No. 6,432,267 to Watson and United States Patent No. 6,447,640 to Walson et al, Inasmuch as the process of the invention can readily be practiced on existing equipment with reasonable moditications, any existing flat dryers can be advantageously employed so as to conserve capital as well. Alternatively, the web may be through-dried after fabric creping as is well known in the art. Representative references include: United States Patent No. 3,342,936 to Cole et al; United States Patent No. 3,994,771 to Morgan, Jr. et ul.\ United States Patent No. 4,102,737 to Morton; and United States Patent No. 4,529,480 to Trokhan. Turning to the Figures, Figure l shows a cross-section (120X) along the MD of a fabric-creped, undrawn sheet 10 illustrating a fiber-enriched region 12. It will be appreciated that fibers of the fiber-enriched region 12 have orientation biased in the CD, especially at the right side of region 12, where the web contacts a kniickle of the creping fabric. Figure 2 illustrates sheet 10 drawn 45% after fabric creping and drying. l lere ii is seen regions 12 are attenuated or dispersed in the machine direction when the microfolds of regions 12 expand or untbld. The drawn web exhibits increase bulk and void volume with respect to an undrawn web. Structural and property changes are further appreciated by reference to Figures 3-12. Figure 3 is a photomicrograph (10X) of the fabric side of a fabric-creped vveb of the invention which was prepared without substanţial subsequent draw of the web. It is seen in Figure 3 that sheet 10 has a plurality of very pronounced high basis weight, fiber-enriched regions 12 having fiber with orientation biased in the cross-machine direction (CD) linked by relatively low basis weight regions 14. It is appreciated from the photographs that linking regions 14 have fiber orientation bias extending along a direction between tlber enriched regions 12. Moreover, it is seen that the fold lines or creases of the microfolds of fiber enriched regions 12 extend along the CD. Figure 4 is a photomicrograph (10X) of the fabric side of a fabric-creped vveb of the invention which was fabric creped, dried and subsequently drawn 45%. Ii is seen in Figure 4 that sheet 10 still has a plurality of relatively high basis weight regions 12 linked by lower basis regions 14; however, the fiber-enriched regions 12 are much less pronounced after the web is drawn as will be appreciated by corn pari ng Figures 3 and 4. Figure 5 is a photomicrograph (10X) of the dryer side of the web of Figure 3, that is, the side of the web opposite the creping fabric. This web was fabric creped and dried without drawing. Here, there are seen fiber-enriched regions 12 of relatively high basis weights as well as lower basis weight regions 14 linking the fiber-enriched regions. These features are generally less pronounced on the dryer or "can" side of the web; except however, the attenuation or unfolding of the fiber-enriched regions is perhaps more readily observed on the dryer side of the web when the fabric-creped web 10 is drawn as is seen in Figure 6. Figure 6 is a photomicrograph (10X) of the dryer side of a fabric-creped web 10 prepared in accordance with the invention which was fabric creped, dried and subsequently drawn 45%. Here it is seen that fiber-enriched high basis weight regions 12 "open" or unfold somewhat as they attenuate (as is also seen in Figures l and 2 at higher magnification). The lower basis weight regions 14 remain relatively intact as the web is drawn. In other words, the fiber-enriched regions are preferentially attenuated as the web is drawn. It is further seen in Figure 6 that the relatively compressed fiber-enriched regions 12 have been expanded in the sheet. Without intending to be bound by any theory, it is believed that fabric-creping the web as described herein produces a cohesive fiber reticulum having pronounced variation in local basis weight. The network can be substantially preserved while the web is dried, for example, such that dry-drawing the web will disperse or attenuate the fiber-enriched regions somewhat and increase the void volume of the web. This attribute of the invention is manifested in Figure 6 by mierofolds in the web at regions 12 opening upon drawing of the web to greater length. In Figure 5, corresponding regions 12 of the undrawn web remain closed. Figures 7-12 likewise illustrate the features of the processes and products of the present invention. Figure 7 is a plot of void volume versus percent draw for a fabric-creped can-dried (in-fabric dried) web and a like web that was fabric-creped then applied with an adhesive to a Yankee dryer before being creped off. It is seen in Figure 7 that the two webs exhibit very different behavior upon drawing. The web which was fabric-creped, applied to a Yankee with adhesive and creped with a creping blade t rom the Yankee exhibited a decrease of void volume upon drawing. On the other hand, the web which was fabric-creped and then retained in the fabric and can-dried exhibited a significant increase in void volume upon drawing. In Figure 8, basis weight, caliper and bulk for a fabric-creped, can-dried web are plotted versiis percent draw. Here it is seen basis weight decreases much mure then caliper at higher draws, leading to an increase in bulk (caliper/basis weight). This data is consistent with Figure 6 which shows attenuation of the fiber-enriched regions 12 as microfolds open. Figure 9 is a plot similar to Figure 8 for a fabric-creped/Yankee dried and creped web, wherein it is seen caliper and basis weight decrease at more or less the same rate upon drawing. Figure 10 is a plot of TMI Friction values versus bulk for various fabric-creped/can-dried samples, while Figures 11 and 12 show TMI Friction values and void volume versus percent draw. It will be appreciated from these Figures that sidedness of the web decreases upon drawing, largely due to the decrease in Friction value of the fabric side of the web as it is drawn. The invention process and preferred products thereof are further appreciated by reference to Figures 13 through 30. Figure 13 is a photomicrograph of a very low basis weight, open mesh web 20 having a plurality ofrelatively high basis weight pileated regions 22 interconnected by a plurality of lower basis weight linking regions 24. The cellulosic fibers of linking regions 24 nave orientation which is biased along the direction as to which they extend between pileated regions 22, as is perhaps best seen in the enlarged view of Figure 14. The orientation and variation in local basis weight is surprising in view of the tact that the nascent web has an apparently random fiber orientation when formed and is transferred largely undisturbed to a transfer surface prior to being wet fabric-creped therefrom. The imparted ordered structure is distinctly seen at extremely low basis weights where web 20 has open portions 26 and is thus an open mesh structure. Figure 15 shows a web together with the creping fabric 28 upon which the fibers were redistributed in a wet-creping nip after generally random formation to a consistency of 40-50 percent or so prior to creping from the transfer cylinder. While the structure including the pileated and reoriented regions is easily observed in open meshed embodiments of very low basis weight, the ordered structure of the products of the invention is likewise seen when basis weight is increased where integument regions of fiber 30 spân the pileated and linking regions as is seen in Figures 16 through 18 so that a sheet 32 is provided with substantially continuous surtaces as is seen particularly in Figures 25 and 28, where the darker regions are lower in basis weight while the almost solid white regions are relatively compressed fiber. The impact of processing variables and so forth are also appreciated from Figures 16 through 18. Figures 16 and 17 both show 19 Ib sheet; however, the pattern in terms of variation in basis weight is more prominent in Figure 17 because the Fabric Crepe was much higher (40% vs. 17%). Likewise, Figure 18 shows a higher basis weight web (27 Ib) at 28% crepe where the pileated, linking and integument regions are all prominent. Redistribution of fibers from a generally random arrangement into a patterned distribution including orientation bias as well as fiber-enriched regions corresponding to the creping fabric structure is still further appreciated by reference to Figures 19 through 30. Figure 19 is a photomicrograph (10X) showing a cellulosic web from which a series of samples were prepared and scanning electron micrographs (S K M s) made to further show the fiber structure. On the left ofFigure 19 there is shovvn a surface area from which the SEM (negative) surface images 20, 21 and 22 were prepared. It is seen in these SEMs that the fibers of the linking regions have orientation biased along their direction between pileated regions as was noted earlier in connection with the photomicrographs. It is further seen in Figures 20, 21 and 22 that the integument regions formed have a fiber orientation along the machine direction. The feature is illustrated rather strikingly in Figures 23 and 24. Figures 23 and 24 are (negative) views along line XS-A of Figure 19, in section. It is seen especially at 200 magnification (Figure 24) that the fibers are oriented toward the viewing plane, or machine direction, inasrnuch as the majority of the fibers were cut when the sample was sectioned. Figures 25 and 26, a (negative) section along line XS-B of the sample of Figure 19, shows fewer cut fibers especially at the middle portions of the photomicrographs, again showing an MD orientation bias in these areas. Note in Figure 25, U-shaped folds are seen in the fiber-enriched area to the left. Figures 27 and 28 are SEMs of a section (in negative) of the sample of Figure 19 along line XS-C. It is seen in these Figures that the pileated regions (left side) are "stacked up" to a higher local basis weight. Moreover, it is seen in the SEM of Figure 28 that a large number of fibers have been cut in the pileated region (left) showing reorientation of the fibers in this area in a direction transverse to the MD, in this case along the CD. Also noteworthy is that the number of fiber ends observed diminishes as one moves from left to right, indicating orientation toward the MD as one moves away from the pileated regions. Figures 29 and 30 are SEMs (in negative) of a section taken along line XS-D of Figure 19. Here it is seen that fiber orientation bias changes as one moves across the CD. On the left, in a linking or colligating region, a large number of "ends" are seen indicating MD bias. In the middle, there are fewer ends as the edge of a pileated region is traversed, indicating more CD bias until another linking region is approached and cut fibers again become more plentiful, again indicating increased MD bias. The desired redistribution of fiber is achieved by an appropriate selection of consistency, fabric or fabric pattern, nip parameters, and velocity delta, the difference in speed between the transfer surface and creping fabric. Velocity deltas of at least 100 fpm, 200 fpm, 500 fpm, 1000 fpm, 1500 fpm or even in excess of 2000 fpm may be needed under some conditions to achieve the desired rcdistribution of fiber and combination of properties as will become apparent from the discussion which follows. In many cases, velocity deltas of from about 500 fpm to about 2000 tpm will suffice. Forming of the nascent web, for example, control of a headbox jet and tbrming wire or fabric speed is likewise important in order to achieve the desired properties of the product, especially MD/CD tensile ratio. Likewise, drying may be carried out while the preserving the drawable reticulum of the web especially if it is desired to increase bulk substantially by drawing the web. It is seen in the discussion which follows that the following salient parameters are selected or controlled in order to achieve a desired set of characteristics in the product: consistency at a particular point in the process (especially at fabric crepe); fabric pattern; fabric creping nip parameters; fabric crepe ralio; velocity deltas, especially transfer surface/creping fabric and headbox jet/forming wire; and post fabric-crepe handiing of the web. The products of the invention are coinpared with convenţional products in Table 2 below. (Table Removed) Referring to Figure 31, there is shown schematically a papermachine 40 which may be used to practice the present invention. Papermachine 40 includes a tbrming section 42, a press section 44, a creping roii 46 wherein the web is creped t'rom a transfer roii 76, as well as a can dryer section 48. Forming section 42 includes: a head box 50, a tbrming fabric or wire 52, which is supported on a plurality ol'rolls to provide a tbrming table 51. There is thiis provided forming roii 54, support rolls 56, 58 as well as a roii 60. Press section 44 includes a paper making felt 62 supported on rollers 64, 66, 68, 70 and shoe press roii 72. Shoe press roii 72 includes a shoe 74 for pressing the web against transfer drum or roii 76. Transfer roii or drum 76 may be heated if so desired. Roii 76 includes a transfer surface 78 upon which the web is deposited during manufacture. Crepe roii 46 supports, in part, an impression fabric 80 which is also supported on a plurality of rolls 82, 84 and 86. Dryer section 48 also includes a plurality of can dryers 88, 90, 92, 94, 96, 98 and 100 as shown in the diagram, wherein cans 96, 98 and 100 are in a first tier and cans 88, 90, 92 and 94 are in a second tier. Cans 96, 98 and 100 directly contact the web, whereas cans in the other tier contact the fabric. In this two tier arrangement where the web is separated from cans 90 and 92 by the fabric, it is sometimes advantageous to provide impingement air dryers at 90 and 92, which may be drilled cans, such that air tlow is indicated schematically at 91 and 93. There is further provided a reel section 102 which includes a guide roii 104 and a take up reel 106 shown schematically in the diagram. Papermachine 40 is operated such that the web travels in the machine direction indicated by arrows 108, 112, 114, 116 and 118 as is seen in Figure 31. A paper making furnish at low consistency, generally less than 0.5%, typically about 0.2% or less, is deposited on fabric or wire 52 to form a web 110 on table 51 as is shown in the diagram. Web 110 is conveyed in the machine direction to press section 44 and transferred onto a press felt 62 as is seen in Figure 31. In this connection, the web is typically dewatered to a consistency of between about 10 and 15 percent on wire 52 before being transferred to the felt. So ulsu, roii 64 may be a vacuum roii to assist in transfer to the felt 62. On felt 62, web 110 is dewatered to a consistency typically of from about 20 to about 25 percent prior to entering a press nip indicated at 120. At nip 120 the web is pressed onto cylinder 76 by vvay of shoe press roii 72. In this connection, the shoe 74 exerts pressure where upon the web is transferred to surface 78 of roii 76 at a consistency of from aboul 40 to 50 percent on the transfer roii. Transfer roii 76 translates in the machine direction indicated by 114 at a first speed. Fabric 80 travels in the direction indicated by arrow 116 and picks up web 110 in the creping nip indicated at 122. Fabric 80 is traveling at second speed slower than the tlrst speed of the transfer surface 78 of roii 76. Thus, the web is provided with a fabric crepe typically in an amount of from about 10 to about 300 percent in the machine direction. The creping fabric defines a creping nip over the distance in which creping fabric 80 is adapted to contact surface 78 of roii 76; that is, applies significant pressure to the web against the transfer cylinder. To this end, backing (or creping) roii 46 may be provided with a soft deformable surface which will increase the length ol" the creping nip and increase the fabric creping angle between the fabric and the sheet and the point of contact or a shoe press rol) could be used as roii 46 to increase effective contact with the web in high impact fabric creping nip 122 where web 110 is transferred to fabric 80 and advanced in the machine direction. By using different equipment at the creping nip, it is possible to adjust the fabric ereping angle or the takeaway angle from the creping nip. A cover on roii 46 having a Pusey and Jones hardness of from about 25 to abolit 90 may be used. Thus, it is possible to influenee the nature and amount of redistribution of fiber, delamination/debonding which may occur at fabric creping nip 122 by adjusting these nip parameters. In some embodiments it may by desirable to restructure the z-direction interfiber characteristics while in other cases it may be desired to intluence properties only in the plane of the web. The creping nip parameters can influenee the distribution of fiber in the web in a variety of directions, including inducing changes in the z-direction as well as the MD and CD. In any case, the transfer from the transfer cylinder to the creping fabric is high impact in that the fabric is traveling slower than the web and a significant velocity change occurs. Typically, the web is creped anywhere from 10-60 percent and even higher during transfer from the transfer cylinder to the fabric. Creping nip 122 generaliy extends over a fabric creping nip distance of anywhere from about 1/8" to about 2", typically '/•>" to 2". For a creping fabric with 32 CD strands per inch, web 110 thus will encounter anywhere from about 4 to 64 weft filaments in the nip. The nip pressure in nip 122, that is, the loading between creping roii 46 and transfer roii 76 is suitably 20-200, preferably 40-70 pounds per linear inch (PL1). Following the fabric crepe, web 110 is retained in fabric 80 and fed to dryer section 48. In dryer section 48 the web is dried to a consistency of from about 92 to 98 percent betbre being wound up on reel 106. Note that there is provided in the drying section a plurality of heated drying rolls 96, 98 and 100 which are in direct contact with the web on fabric 80. The drying cans or rolls 96, 98, and 100 are steam heated to an elevated temperature operative to dry the web. Rolls 88, 80, 92 and 94 are likewise heated although these rolls contact the fabric directiv and not the web directly. An opţional vacuum molding box at 103 is provided i f it is desired to apply vacuum to the web as it is retained in fabric 80. In especially preferred embodiments, reel 106 is operated at higher speed than fabric 80 so that web 110 is drawn, that is, elongated, as it is transferred from fabric 80 to reel 106. A reel draw of anywhere from 10-100% is suitable in many cascs. Alternatively, the web may be drawn oft-1 ine. In some embodiments of the invention, it may be desirable to eliminate open dravvs in the process, such as the open draw between the creping and drying fabric and reel 106. This is readily accomplished by extending the creping fabric to the reel drum and transferring the web directly from the fabric to the reel as is disclosed generally in United States Patent No. 5,593,545 to Rugowski al al. Tlie present invention offers the advantage that relatively low grade energy sources may be used to provide the thermal energy used to dry the web. That is to say, it is not necessary in accordance with the invention to provide through drying quality heated air or heated air suitable for a drying hood inasmuch as the cans 96, 98 and 100 may be heated from any source including waste recovery. Also, existing facility thermal recovery is used since equipment changes to implement the process are minimal. Generally, a significant advantage of the invention is that it may utilize existing manufacturing assets such as can dryers and Fourdrinier formers of tlat papermachines in order to make premium basesheet for tissue and towel, thus lowering dramatically the required capital investment to make premium products. In many cases, papermachines can be rebuilt without having to m ove the vvet-end or dry-end of the machine. There is shown in Figure 32 a portion of a papermachine 200 which includes a press section 202 provided with a press felt 203 and a transfer roii 206. Web 205 is transferred by wet pressing the web onto cylinder 206 as was described above in connection with Figure 31. Papermachine 200 also includes a fabric creping section 208 wherein web 205 is fabric-creped onto fabric 210. Triere is turther provided a single tier dryer section 212 provided with a plurality ofcan dryers 214, 216, 218, and 220. There is also provided to support fabric 210 a plurality of guide rolls such as rolls 222, 224, 226, 228, 230, 232, 234, and 236. At'ter the dryer section, web 205 is transferred to a draw section 238 which includes a tlrst draw roii 240 as well as a second draw roii 242. Further downstream is a calender station 244, including calender rolls 246, a guide roii 250 and a wind up reel 252. The sheet is formed, pressed and applied to backing roii 206 as in convenţional paper making. In this respect there is provided a press roii 254 as well as a plurality of guide rolls such as roii 256 upon which felt 203 travels. Backing roii 206 maybe heated by any number of means which serves to improve the efficiency of the pressing operation. The pressing step dewaters the sheet and attaches to roii 206 sufficiently to carry it around cylinder 206 to the point at which sheet 205 is creped onto fabric 210 through a differential speed nip at 208. Transfer at 208 molds the sheet into the fabric sufficiently that the sheet and fabric are kept together throughout final drying. To turther enhance this molding there is optionally provided a vacuum box 258. Typically, vacuum box 258 will add up to about 50% percent or more caliper depending upon the pressure differential the sheet/fabric combo is subjected to. In this respect, a pressure differential of anywhere from about 5 up to about 30 inches of mercury may be employed. Following the opţional vacuum box treatment the sheet is dried to the desired ti nai dryness while maintained in the fabric in section 212 by dryer cans 214 through 220. It will be appreciated by those of skill in the art that section 212 is a "single tier" drying arrangement. The sheet is separated from fabric 210 and supplied to roii 240. Preterably, roii 240 is operated at a speed slightly faster than fabric 210. Another roii 242 is operated faster than roii 240 and substantially faster than fabric 210 in order to draw the sheet to the desired elongation. Web 205 may then be calendered at calendering station 244 if so desired. In many applications of the inventive process, in line calendering as shown in Figure 32 is preferred. In accordance with the invention, the sheet is drawn or pulled oul prior to calendering so that web 205 is provided with superior tactile properties as well as improved absorbency. Tactile smoothing can also be accomplished by drying the sheet in the fabric to at least about 80% dry and then final drying in a tradiţional can drying section where both of the sides are brought into contact with a hoţ drying cylinder. This will bring down the tactile differences between the can or dryer side of the sheet and the fabric side of the sheet. One such apparatus is shown schematically in Figure 33, discussed below. There is shown in Figure 33 a parţial schematic of yet another papermaking machine 300 which includes a press section 302 wherein a web 304 is transferred from a papermaking felt 306 to a transfer cylinder 308. Press section 302 includes a press roii 310 as well as guide rolls such as roii 312 to support felt 306. Adjacent transfer cylinder 308 there is provided a fabric creping station 314 including a fabric creping nip 316 wherein web 304 is transferred to a creping fabric 318. Creping fabric 318 is supported on a plurality of rolls such as rolls 320, 322, 324, 326 and 328. There is optionally included in the creping fabric section one or more dryer cans such as dryer can 330 to further dry the web as it moves in machine direction 335. Following fabric creping, the web is transferred to a two tier can drying section 332. Section 332 includes a first dryer fabric 334, as well as a second dryer fabric 336. There is optionally provided a vacuum shoe 338 to assist in transfer from the creping fabrics to the drying fabrics. Each of the drying fabrics is mounted about a plurality of guide rolls such as rolls 340, 342, 344, 346 and so forth. The section also includes a first tier 346 of dryer cans as well as a second lier 348 of dryer cans. Tier 346 includes cans 350, 352, 354 and 356, while tier 348 includes dryer cans 358, 360, 362 and 364. Web 304 is tbrmed by convenţional means and compactably dewatered at press section 302 as web 304 is appiied to transfer cylinder 308 with an apparently random distribution of fiber orientation. The web is then creped from the surface ot'cylinder 308 in creping nip 316. In this respect it will be appreciated that fabric 318 travels at a speed lovver than the velocity of the surface of cylinder 308 in order to impart fabric crepe into the web and rearrange the apparently random web applied to cylinder 308, siieh that the web has the fiber bias shown in the various photomicrographs. Optionally, vacuum is applied at 375, if so desired. After creping, the web is conveyed in the machine direction 335 by fabric 318 and optionally further dried by one or more cans such as can 330 before the web is transferred to a dryer fabric. Optionally web 304 is transferred to a dryer fabric such as fabric 334 with the assistance of a vacuum shoe 338. The web is dried on the surface of the dryer cans 350 to 364 by alternatively contacting a surface of the web with the dryer cans as shown. It will be appreciated from the diagram that the fabric side of the web contacts the surface of the dryer cans of tier 348, that is cans 358, 360, 362 and 364. It will likewise be appreciated that the air side of the fabric creped web 304 contacts the surfaces of the dryer cans in tier 346, that is cans 350, 352, 354 and 356. By way of this process the sidedness of the web is reduced during drying. Tactile properties as well as absorbency are further enhanced by providing draw and/or calendering as was discussed above in connection with Figure 31. Hxamples 1-8 and Examples A-F Utilizing an apparatus of the class shown in Figures 31 -33, a series of absorbent sheets were prepared with different amounts of fabric crepe and overall crepe. In general, a 50/50 southern softwood kraft/southern hardwood kraft l urni sh was used with a 36m ( M weave with the CD knuckles to the sheet). Chemicals such as debonders and strength resins were not used. The fabric crepe ratio was about l .6. The sheet was fabric creped at about 50% consistency using a line force of about 25 pli against the backing roii; thereafter the sheet was dried in the fabric by bringing it into contact with heated dryer cans, removed from the fabric and wound onto the reel of the papermachine. Data from these trials are designated as Rxamples 1-8 in Table 3 where post-fabric creping draw is also specified. Further trials were made with an apparatus using compactive dewatering, fabric creping and Yankee drying (instead of can drying) wherein the web was adhered to the Yankee cylinder with a polyvinyl alcohol containing adhesive and removed by blade creping. Data from these trials appears in Table 3 as Examples Table 3 - Sheet Properties Examples 1-8; A-F (Table Removed) Photomierographs of'selected products appear as Figures 1-6 and results also appear in Figures 7-12 discussed above. It is seen that the in-fabric, can-dried product exhibits very unique characteristics when drawn after fabric creping. As summarized above, unique features include an increase in void volume and bulk upon dravving. Sidedness is also reduced when a fabric-creped, can-dried web is drawn. Withoul intending to be bound by any theory, it is believed that if the cohesiveness of the fabric-creped, drawable reticulum of the web is preserved during drying, then drawing the web will unfold or otherwise attenuate the fiber-enriched regions of the web to increase absorbency. In Table 4 it is seen that convenţional wet press (CWP) and thoroughdried products (TAD) exhibit much less property change upon drawing than fabric creped/ can dried absorbent sheet of the invention. These results are discussed further below together with additional examples. Following generally the procedures noted above, additional nins were made with in-fabric (can) dried and Yankee-dried basesheet. The Yankee-dried material was adhered to a Yankee dryer with a polyvinyl alcohol adhesive and blade-creped. The Yankee dried material exhibits less property change upon drawing (until most of the stretch is pulled out) than did the can dried material. Test data is summarized in Tables 5 through 12 and Figures 34 through 43. Fabrics tested included 44G, 44M and 36M oriented in the MD or CD. Vacuum molding with a vacuum box such as box 258 (Figure 32) included testing with a narrow V*" and wider l .5" slot up to about 25" Hg vacuum. (Table Removed) It is seen in Figure 34 that the can-dried materials exhibit more void volume gain as the basis weight is reduced as the sheet as drawn. Moreover, the Yankee -dried and blade-creped material did not exhibit any void volume gain iintil relatively large elongation. In Table 6 and Table 7 as well as Figures 35 and 36, it is seen that can-dried material and Yankee-dried material exhibit similar stress/strain behavior; hovvever, the can-dried material has a higher iniţial modulus which may be beneficia! to runnability. Modulus is calculated by dividing the incremental stress (per inch of sample vvidth) in Ibs by the additional elongation observed. Nominally, the quantity has units Ibs/in2. Figure 37 is a plot of caliper change versus basis weight upon drawing. The Yankee-dried web exhibited approximately l: l loss of caliper with basis weight (i.e., approximately constant bulk) whereas the can-dried web lost much more basis weight than caliper. This result is consistent with the data set of Hxamples 1-8 and with the void volume data. The ratio of percent decrease in basis weight may be calculated and compared for the different processes. The Yankee-dried material has an undrawn basis weight of about 26 Ibs and a caliper loss of about 28% vvhen drawn to a basis weight of about 20.5; that is, the material has only about 72% of its original caliper. The basis weight loss is about 5.5/26 or 2 \%: thus, the ratio of percent decrease in caliper/percent decrease in basis weight is approximately 28/21 or l .3. It is seen in Figure 37 that the can-dried material loses caliper much more slowly with basis weight reduction as the material is drawn. As the can-dried sheet is drawn f rom a basis weight of about 22 Ibs to about 14 Ibs, only about 20% of the caliper is lost and the ratio of % decrease in caliper/percent decrease in basis weight is about 20/36 or 0.55. Figure 38 shows that the void volume of the Yankee-dried material did not change as the basis weight was reduced by drawing until the web was drawn 15-20%. This is consistent with the fact that caliper and basis weight changed at nearly equal rates as the Yankee dried material was drawn. On the other hand, the can dried material showed increases in void volume of much more than the caliper change, consistent with the bulk increase observed upon drawing. In Figures 39 and 40 it is seen that caliper is influenced by selection of vacuum and creping fabric; while Table 12 and Figure 41 show that the in-fabric can-dried material exhibited much higherTMI Friction values. In general, friction values decrease as the material is drawn. It will be appreciated t rom the data in Table 12 and Figure 41 that even though samples were run only in the MD, that as the samples were drawn the friction values on either side of the sheet converge; for example the can dried samples hâd average values of 2.7/0.65 fabric side/can side prior to drawing and average values of l .8/1. l at 55% draw. Differences between products of the invention and convenţional products are particularly appreciated by reference to Table 4 and Figure 42. It is seen that convenţional through dried (TAD) products do not exhibit substanţial increases in void volume ( Further differences between the inventive process and product and convenţional products and processes are seen in Figure 43. Figure 43 is a plot of MD/CD tensile ratio (strength at break) versus the difference between headbox jet velocity and forming wire speed (fpm). The upper U-shaped curve is typical of convenţional wet-press absorbent sheet. The lower, broader, curve is typical of fabric-creped product of the invention. It is readily appreciated from Figure 43 that MD/CD tensile ratios of below 1.5 or so are achieved in accordance with the invention over a wide range of jet to wire velocity deltas, a range which is more than twice that oi'the CWP curve shown. Thus control of the headbox jet/ tbrming vvire velocity delta may be used to achieve desired sheet properties. It is also seen from Figure 43 that MD/CD ratios below square (i.e. below l) are difficult; i f not impossible to obtain with convenţional processing. h'urthermore, square or below sheets are tbrmed by way of the invention without excessive fiber aggregates or "tlocs" which is not the case with the CWP products having low MD/CD tensile ratios. This difference is due, in part, to the relatively low velocity deltas required to achieve low tensile ratios in CWP products and may be due in part to the tact that tlber is redistributed on the creping fabric when the web is creped from the transfer sur face in accordance with the invention. Surprisingly, square products of the invention resist propagation of tears in the CD and exhibit a tendency to self-healing. This is a major processing advantage since the web, even though square, exhibits reduced tendency to break easily when being wound. In many products, the cross machine properties are more important than the MD properties, particularly in commercial toweling where CD wet strength is criticai. A major source of product failure is "tabbing" ortearing offonly a piece oftowel rather than the entirety of the intended sheet. In accordance with the invention, C'D tensiles may be selectively elevated by control of the headbox to tbrming vvire velocity delta and fabric creping. Alternative Einbodiments The present invention also includes generally processes wherein a web is compactivcly dewatered, creped into a creping fabric and dried in situ in that fabric. The process thus avoids the operating problem of transferring a partially dried web to a Yankee and makes it possible to use existing papermachines or existing assets with a modest amount of investment to make premium sheet. Preferably fabric creping variables are selected so that the web is reoriented in the fabric from an apparentiy random tlber orientation upon web formation to provide a reordered microstructure dictated in part by the fabric design. The fabric is seiected tor the desired product texture and physical properties, while the furnish may likewise be adapted for the end tise. There is provided in one aspect of the present invention a method of making an absorbent cellulosic web suitable for paper towel or paper tissue manufactura including: forming a nascent web from a papermaking furnish; transferring the web to a translating transfer surface moving at a first speed; drying the web to a consistency of from about 30 to about 60 percent prior to or concurrently with transfer to the transfer surface: tabric-creping the web from the transfer surface at the consistency of from about 30 to about 60 percent in a creping nip defined between the transfer surface and a creping fabric traveling at a sccond speed slower than said transfer surface, wherein the web is creped from the surface; and drying the web while it is held in the fabric to a consistency of at leasl 90 percent. The web has an absorbency of at least about 5 g/g. In a preferred embodiment, drying of the web after tabric-creping consists ofcontacting the web with a plurality of can dryers. Drying to a consistency from about 92 to 95 percent while the web is in the fabric is preferred. The step of forming the nascent web may include (i) forming the web in a Fourdrinier former and (ii) transferring the web to a papermaking felt. The process is suitably operated at a Fabric Crepe (defined above) of from about 10 to about 100 percent, such as a Fabric Crepe of at least about 40, 60 or 80 percent. The web may have a CD stretch of from about 5 percent to about 20 percent. Some preferred embodiments are those where: (a) the web has a CD stretch of at least 5 percent and a MD/CD tensile ratio of less than about l .75; (b) the web has a C'D stretch of at least 5 percent and an MD/CD tensile ratio of less than about l .5; (c) the web has a CD stretch of at least 10 percent and an MD/CD tensile ratio of less than about 2.5; (d) the web has a CD stretch of at least 15 percent and a MD/CD tensile ratio of less than about 3.0; and (e) the web has a C'D stretch of at least 20 percent and a MD/CD tensile ratio of less than about 3.5. So also, the web in some cases has an MD/CD tensile ratio of less than about 1.1, sucii as an MD/CD tensile ratio of trom about 0.5 to about 0.9; and sometimes the web exhibits an MD/CD tensile ratio of from about 0.6 to about 0.8. In other cases the web has an MD/CD tensile ratio of 2 or 3, optionally up to 4. Typically, the web is fabric-creped at a consistency of from about 45 percent to about 60 percent, suitably in most cases the web is fabric-creped at a consistency of from about 40 percent to about 50 percent. Absorbencies of at least about 7 g/g are preferred, 9 g/g yet more preferred and 11 g/g or 13 g/g are şti 11 more preferred. In another aspect of the invention, there is provided a method of making a cellulosic web having elevated absorbency comprising: forming a nascent web from a papermaking furnish; transferring the web to a translating transfer surface moving at a first speed; drying the web to a consistency of from about 30 to about 60 percent prior to or concurrently with transfer to the transfer surface; fabric-creping the web from the transfer surface at a consistency of from about 30 to about 60 percent utilizing a patterned creping fabric, the creping step occurring under pressure in a fabric creping nip defined between the transfer surface and the creping fabric wherein the fabric is traveling at a second speed slower than the speed ofsaid transfer surface, the fabric pattern, nip parameters, velocity delta and web consistency being selected such triat the web is creped from the transfer surface and redistributed on the creping fabric, and drying the web in the fabric to a consistency of at least 90 percent, wherein the web has an absorbency of at least about 5 g/g.

The plurality of fiber-enriched regions and colligating regions typically recur in a regular pattern of interconnected fibrous regions throughout the vveb where the orientation bias of the fibers of the fiber-enriched regions and colligating regions are transverse to one another. In one preferred embodiment, the fibers of the fiber-enriched regions are substantially oriented in the CD, while in another the plurality of fiber-enriched regions have a higher local basis weight than the colligating regions.

In such cases, the fibers of at least one of the plurality of colligating regions are substantially oriented in the MD and the fiber-enriched regions may exhibit a plurality of U-shaped folds as are seen in Figure 13, for example. These attributes are present, for example, when the creping fabric is a creping fabric provided with CD knuckles defming creping surfaces transverse to the machine direction and the distribution of the fiber-enriched regions corresponds to the arrangement of CD knuckles on the creping fabric.
