HP OfficeJet 6960

I can’t find anywhere on the internet what photo paper is compatible with the HP OfficeJet 6960. Yes, I know there are certain sizes it takes but, i’m just not sure if it takes gloss, matte, and semigloss. I’m only aware that it for sure takes gloss and matte but not so sure about semigloss or any of the sizes for each one.
