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.
