Abstract: The present invention relates to a coated paper product and method for making the coated paper product. The product comprises a paper substrate, which can be of a low quality, that is coated with at least two layers of coating in one embodiment. A first coating layer is applied to the front and back sides of the paper substrate before a second coating layer is applied. The first coating layer comprises titanium dioxide, an aluminum silicate, calcium carbonate, clay and a binder. The second coating layer comprises hollow spherical particles, which provides the coating with an improved ability to spread while improving the coverage and formation of the coating layer, and also comprises a printing additive, titanium dioxide and a binder.
