I use Tetenal Spectra Jet High Gloss 264 exclusively in an 870.  The saturation,
detail, brilliance and colour fidelity are better than anything else I've tried.
I've seen one instance of cyan fading with this paper, in a print I gave away,
but I've never had any problems with the prints I've kept.  It's as glossy as a
Ilfochrome, though, so it might not be what you're looking for.

Epson has come out with some semi gloss papers for the 2000p printer.  Has
anyone tried them in the 870/1270?  They might do the trick.
