One embodiment of the apparatus includes a die assembly having a plurality of nozzles, one or more attenuation medium passages and a cover plate. The cover plate has a cover plate opening into which one or more of the nozzles may extend. The attenuation medium passages have a minimum cross-sectional area and the cover plate opening has a limiting cross-sectional area such that the minimum cross-sectional area of the attenuation medium passages is greater than the limiting cross-sectional area of the cover plate opening. The method of the present invention may also include providing a die that creates a low internal pressure drop, cooling the attenuation medium upon exit of the die and/or providing an attenuation medium with a high relative solvent-vapor content in the attenuation region.
