calander

     

The calener is a series of hard pressure rollers, at the end of a papermaking process (on-line) or separate from it (off-line), which is also called supercalender. The purpose of a calender is to smooth out the paper for enabling printing and writing on it, and to increase the gloss on the paper surface. It is understood to be a process of using pressure for embossing a smooth surface on the still rough paper surface.
