A method and a machine are described for drying of fibrous web, especially suitable for high speed machines producing printing papers. High drying rates are obtained by subsequently pressing the two surfaces of wet web (5) onto two large diameter dryer cylinders (1, 2) heated to between 100 and 150.degree.C. In the first nip, the web (5) is pressed on the dryer cylinder (1) by a felted press roll (3), while an unfelted smooth roll (4) is used to press the web (5) on the second dryer (2). Drying rates obtained when practicing the invention are substantially greater than those found in conventional dryer sections. The product obtained according to this method is 30 % stronger than the conventionally dried uncalendered paper, and without calendering has a smoothness and gloss similar to those of calendered conventional papers.
