Comments welcome please

After a lot of help from this forum and researching the suppliers recommended I am now thinking of purchasing a Ricoh SG3110DN printer along with Sublisplash inks (for the better rendition of black).
I will be printing photographic images onto a range of Hard Surface blanks including: ceramic & glass coasters, mugs & Photo Slates. I am finding it hard to decide on what would be the best quality paper to use and currently looking at the 'Jet Stream Digital F35' or 'Text Print R' and would welcome comments on these or any others which may be more suitable.
Thanks
John

i used to use Xpres paper but found it inconsistent. i now use titan x paper from longforte or if i can't get any for some reason then use dye sub magic paper. drying time is great and call me silly but i love papers where they have a pattern on the back so it is super easy to see which way round to print your artwork.

About the papares ..I have used Jet Stream , Tue Pix and few others .But the Sawgrass new Paper is the one I am using now .I think they print better than the rest and they even cheaper to true pix ..My preference in a order .Sawgrass new Paper, True Pix and lastly .JetStream ..Only little issue with this New Sawgrass paper is they kind a curl up from the corners so you better cut the corners slightly .My printers are Epson BTW ..

Thanks phoeniximages and Ravistream for your replies. I am going ahead with the Ricoh SG3110DN printer and Dye Sublimation Supplies include a pack of S-Race paper which will get me started. Will certainly look at the dyesub magic and the new Sawgrass.

I usually stay away from some of the thinner budget papers mentioned above. True Pix, TexPrint XPHR and Xpres Subliprint Premium all work well.

Thanks GoonerGary, I like the idea of the thicker papers so will probably give one of them a try.
