1. A paper product comprising,
at least one paper web having an embossed surface wherein the emboss pattern is made up of at least about 80% linear elements and the emboss depth is from about 1.25 to about 3.5 times the caliper of the unembossed at least one web; and
wherein the finished product has a caliper at least 5% less than the same pattern formed from dots; and an absorbency loss over the unembossed at least one web of no greater than 10%.
2. The product of claim 1 , wherein the emboss pattern covers 22 to 50% of the paper web.
3. The product of claim 1 , wherein the emboss pattern covers 25 to 30% of the paper web.
4. The product of claim 1 , wherein the emboss pattern includes at least about 90% linear embossments.
5. The product of claim 1 , wherein the emboss pattern includes at least about 95% linear embossments.
6. The product of claim 1 , wherein the emboss pattern includes 100% linear embossments.
7. The product of claim 1 , wherein the depth of the embossments are from about 1.5 to about 2.5 times the caliper of the unembossed at least one web.
8. The product of claim 1 , wherein the depth of the embossments are from about 1.5 to about 2.0 times the caliper of the unembossed at least one web.
