Question: are there models printed on glossy paper when it fits the object? Or is a non-coated paper the best choice whatsoever?
What brand/type of glossy paper would be the best choice?
It almost sounds like you are looking for some photo paper. Plenty of specialty photo papers available from on-line sources, not the generic stuff the big box stores sell.
