Uncreped throughdried cellulosic webs having improved smoothness and stretch are produced by transferring a newly formed web from the forming fabric to a slower moving, high fiber support transfer fabric, preferably using a fixed gap or kiss transfer in which the forming fabric and the transfer fabric converge and diverge at the leading edge of the transfer shoe. The web is then transferred to a throughdrying fabric and throughdried to final dryness, producing a web having an improved softness due to increased surface smoothness.

A method of making a cellulosic web comprising: (a) depositing an aqueous suspension of papermaking fibers onto the surface of an endless traveling foraminous forming fabric to form a wet web having a consistency of from about 15 to about 25 percent; (b) transferring the wet web from the forming fab

A method of making a cellulosic web comprising: (a) depositing an aqueous suspension of papermaking fibers onto the surface of an endless traveling foraminous forming fabric to form a wet web having a consistency of from about 15 to about 25 percent; (b) transferring the wet web from the forming fabric to a first transfer fabric having a void volume that is equal to or less than the void volume of the forming fabric, said transfer fabric traveling at a speed of from about 5 to about 75 percent slower than the forming fabric; and (c) transferring the wet web from the first transfer fabric to a throughdrying fabric, wherein the web is throughdried.
