There's quite a bit of stuff out there. Google around on "digital" and "fine
art" and "printing".

Most producers of fine art paper provide "profiles" for their papers and the
printers that can use them. (I have the Japanese models of the printers, and
worry that the profiles won't work right with them, so haven't gone down
this road yet.)
