New Some works, some doesn't.
Some glossy paper will shrivel up in a laser printer. You really have to test the brands available.

New There's a difference between..
..glossy stock for laser and for inkjet. The paper will generally be fairly clearly marked.

I use glossy all the time...but use it in my Epson Photo 1200. I have used glossy in lasers at work...if the right paper is used it does hold the gloss. The issue I generally have with color laser is dpi...since most color laser is at 600. Not quite good enough for photos

New 2400x600
looks pretty damn good, and no streaking like you can get from inkjets (just leave the magnifying glass at home.) But I haven't seen any glossy paper marked specifically for laserjets, most if not all have been marked for inkjets.

First link I picked up from a google search for "glossy laser paper"

New Seriously here...
Get Astrobrite 95 Glossy paper preferably 48# (glossy is much more dense and therefore heavier)

That is an ultra white paper. The main thing is the heat resistance. If you get "printing press" rated glossy stock, it is heat resistant. There fore should work just fine for a laser.

Now using Printing Press glossy stock, the inkjet ink pools into runs and bubbles. Looks horrendous. Inkjet Photo paper absorbs the ink, and has little imperfections in it. When the water based inks touch... those imperfections float-together like a ClearCoat on a car.
