Abstract: A coating composition for application onto a plastic film to produce a coating onto which xerographic toner will adhere is disclosed. The coating composition produces a coating having a glass transition temperature of from about 50.degree. to about 150.degree. C., a Sheffield surface smoothness of 28 to 50 and, when applied to both sides of the plastic film will generate an opacity of at least 75%. The coating composition comprises a resin binder, preferably a polyester resin, filler particles and solvent, and preferably further comprises a cross-linking agent and an antistatic agent. The coating composition is preferably applied to a polyester film, more preferably to a tear-resistant polyethylene terephthalate film.
