Do you know what the Canon PPP "sizing" or coating is made
of? In some ways, the finest and glossiest-surfaced paper
I have ever used is the Xtreem Gamut Glossy, which is
gelatin-sized. I can't get that paper anymore (there were
problems with roller marks on it which were very apparent
in dark parts of the print), but when it was good, it was
magnificent, and I'd like to find another source for a
gelatin-sized paper.
