Dandy Rolls
Papermakers have been using dandy rolls for over 200 years to produce watermarks in machine made papers, and make improvements in the sheet. Dandy rolls are used for improving formation, closing up the sheet, smoothing the top side surface, improving felt side quality and printability, and improving drying.
