Ironall would probably be the worst choice of paper for this poster, since it has the least hand (i.e. softest feel) and they want something that feels rubbery.

Some kind of opaque paper would probably be appropriate.

Maybe vinyl or plastisol transfers would be better.

I think most opaque transfers (for dark garments) give that rubbery feel after they are pressed. You can get them to be glossy with a glossy overlay paper (both available from CoastalBusiness.com or other places on this page)
