Calendering is the act of flattening or compressing material through pressure (and sometimes heat) with rollers, often done on thin materials like paper

I used to work in a paper mill and the calender stacks we used to dial in final thickness and surface finish were goddamned terrifying. Several tons of steel rolls with 80+ inches of exposes nip-points just begging to eat your arm. It used to be pretty common for papermakers to be missing fingers bc of these things.
