The invention teaches a method of manufacturing a high bulk, high gloss paperweb using a supercalender operation. A paperweb surface is coated with a plastic pigment. The paperweb is run through a multi-nip calender device wherein the nip load of the paperweb is maintained at a load of about 1,000 pounds per linear inch at each nip. The temperature of the hard rolls are about 450 degrees Farenheit or less.
