<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a papermaking belt for producing a high caliper web of papermaking fibers and the paper produced thereby. Ž<P>SOLUTION: The papermaking belt comprises a reinforcing structure having a continuous network region and a plurality of discrete deflection conduits disposed thereon. The deflection conduits are sized, shaped, and arranged to maximize fiber deflection along the periphery of the conduits. The conduits are generally elliptical in shape having a mean width sized relative to the mean fiber length. The conduits are arranged to maximize perimeter and corresponding fiber deflection per unit area. Ž<P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT Ž
