Abstract
The method includes the steps of coating the peripheral surface of a roll with a film of plasticizer. An offset roll disposed adjacent to the roll is rotated such that the roll and the offset roll define therebetween a transfer nip so that a film of the plasticizer is transferred to the offset roll. The web is moved past the offset roll such that the web contacts the offset roll downstream relative to the transfer nip so that the film of the plasticizer is offset onto the web. The web is then passed with the offset coating of plasticizer through a calendering nip such that between the offset coating of the web and the subsequent calendering of the web with the offset coating, the plasticizer is permitted to uniformly and controllably penetrate into the web such that the Z-directional compressibility of the web is controlled prior to the web extending through the calendering nip.
