Digital BW, The Print

I haven't tried any of the gloss papers, just mat but-

Look for Pictorio and "professional glossy paper". Pictorio is said 
not to bronze by a couple folks on this list if I remember accurately, 
and pgp is highly recomended as close to a fiber based air dryed print 
(inkjetart.com). I haven't tried either myself.
