Abstract

In a process to introduce a watermark into pre-moistened but adequately strong paper web, the watermark is applied to the surface as a low pressure-regulated laminar jet. The laminar jet pressure is carefully regulated to ensure that the pressure from each jet is identical irrespective of the number of jets. The fluid is a water-based marker substance. The pressure applied is in the range 30 to 200 mbar. Also clamed is a commensurate paper web (2) spray assembly with a liquid reservoir (13) discharging to jets (11). The assembly further has a pressure regulation device (P1, P2, 26)
