Named for a stack of smooth calendar rollers made of metal that paper is run across to give a smooth fin-ish to the sheet. Often the paper is flooded with a liquid clay-like coating before it's run through the calendaring stacks, which gives a hard, shiny surface to the paper.
Involves the smoothing and polishing of paper by passing it through a set of cast-iron rollers.
is a process using series of metal rolls at the end of a paper machine; when the paper is passed between these rolls it increases its smoothness and glossy surface.
A process for finishing fabrics in which such special effects as high luster, glazing, embossing, and moiré are produced.
Method of giving a smooth glossy finish by pressing fabric between rollers. Examples include glazed, moire, and watermarked fabrics.
The process of highly polishing the outer face of recording tape to make it smooth and limit its friction content.
Finish process that removes wrinkles and gives cloth a smooth look. Fabric is run through heated rollers.
Process of pressing fabric between rollers or plates to smooth and glaze.
essentially an ironing process that adds sheen to the fabric by the use of heavy rollers (or calendars), pressure and steam heat.
a process in which compound is forced over a series of rolls mounted on the same frame (a calender) to form a continuous sheet of controlled thickness
a process by which a heated rubber plastic product is squeezed between heavy rollers into a thin sheet or film. The film may be frictioned into the interstices of cloth, or it may be coated onto a cloth or paper.
A buffering process completed during paper manufacturing that polishes the sheet surface making it less prone to printing production difficulties.
The application of either hot or cold pressure to smooth or polish a fabric, thereby reducing the thickness of the cloth by spreading the warp and filling yarns into a ribbon shape.
