Is there such a thing as glossy photo paper for laser printers?

[-RV-]

I recently bought a Dell C1765nfw mainly to print b&w business/home/schoolwork type stuff, but since it does colour too I printed off a few photos and I'm reasonably impressed.

It got me thinking -- is there such a thing as glossy photo paper for laser printers... (although mine is classed as a laser it is actually an LED but should take the same media as laser).

I do see the odd bit of information online about this but would prefer to hear from anyone with first hand experience as its possible I could ruin the printer using the wrong stuff

Yes, it's readily available from supermarkets and the like.

Remember the print from a laser printer sits on top of the paper and doesnt become embedded in the paper like inkjet so even with glossy paper the final result might not be glossy.

Ok thanks.

I also checked my printer and tgre maximum thickness paper it can take is 160gsm so I cant use fancy thicker paper. I've found some 150gsm laser glossy so will give it a go. I know its not the same as inkjet but right now its all I've got
