Abstract

The invention overcomes the problem of paper edge overdrying during the paper drying process on paper machine drying cylinders. It comprises applying a thin ceramic coating onto the circumferential exterior surface of the cylinder near the cylinder edges, thereby forming a thermal barrier coating which decreases paper drying rate at said edges and reduces or eliminates paper edge overdrying.
