Hi Grant

try the glossy inkjet photo papers they are clay-coated to give them the gloss
some of the heavier weights (80-120#) have a thin plastic film just under the
clay layer that makes them hard to soak off (HP Premium I think) but most will
soak thru and release the clay prety well
I've had fairly good results from Epson and the lighter weight HP papers
