Abstract
A method of forming a finished paper having high gloss while maintaining high bulk, comprising applying on a surface of a base stock at least one layer of a coating formulation comprising a particulate plastic pigment; and passing the base stock through a multi-nip calender device maintained at relatively low roll temperature and nip pressure. The product formed using this coating formulation and process is of high gloss quality, yet maintains a relatively high bulk, in comparison to high gloss papers produced by conventional methods.
