Claim:
A method for the production of a web of tissue paper, the method comprising the following steps in sequence: depositing a layer of aqueous suspension of papermaking fibers on at least one forming fabric; reducing the water content of said layer until the amount in weight of fibers in said layer is brought up to a first value; after reduction of the water content, removing said layer from said formation fabric and feeding said layer to an embossing assembly including a pair of embossing rollers forming a nip therebetween, and wet-embossing said layer in said nip between said embossing rollers, wherein one of said embossing rollers is in contact with one surface of said layer and another one of said embossing rollers is in contact with another surface of said layer, said embossing rollers comprising protuberances and cavities, said protuberances of one of said embossing rollers penetrating into the cavities of another one of said embossing rollers; drying said layer downstream of said nip to form a web of tissue paper, wherein said embossed layer is subject to calendering after wet-embossing.
