A good point.  Do not, whatever you do, put coated inkjet stock in them, as
you risk having the coating (or worse, the paper itself) baked onto the
fusing rollers.  That explains why I (had to) replace a Magicolor 2 with the
2300 :-( - though the results are far better.  In UK at least,
K*nic*-Min*lt* give you the chance to upload a digital file to be printed on
a Magicolor as a try-out.  Free. 

For best gloss, use a laser gloss paper.  Also, run the printer on 'thick
stock' setting - even if it isn't thick stock - gives a noticeably higher
gloss to the toner.

Color lasers are used regularly for real estate "fact sheets". The results
on ordinary copy paper are very good. A significant limitation is what kind
of paper you can feed into them. (also used a Magicolor 2300DL) -jeff
