<p>A roll paper dispensing cabinet (10) having means for rotatably supporting a roll of paper and a pair of rotatable embossing roils (22, 24) providing a nip (20) through which the paper is directed prior to exiting the cabinet (10). The embossing rolls (22,24), at least one of which includes a plurality of knuckles (28,34), cooperate to mechanically stress the paper beyond its elastic limit in spaced apart regions over substantially the entire surface of the paper to reduce the cross-machine direction tensile strength of the paper by 25% and to increase the bulk of the paper more than 60% to thereby provide a dispensed sheet having enhanced softness, flexibility and absorbency.</p> |
