Canon glossy photo paper that will print on both sides

Is there any Canon glossy photo papers that will print on both sides? I am making greeting cards and wanted to use one of their glossy photo papers, but none of them will print on the opposite side - the ink just smears all over the 2nd side. I have successfully used Premium Matte Photo Paper Pro, but it doesn't have the same look as the glossy paper. I am using a Canon Pixma Pro-200.

Couldn't find any Canon branded paper, but did find this:

Red River Paper also has double-sided glossy papers. They also generally provide ICC profiles for their papers.

Usually, any brand glossy paper works well with a Canon glossy paper media type selected in printer driver.

Canon does make a double-sided matte paper. The premium matte paper is not coated on the second side.
