Most will work to a pretty decent degree but personally I use the TRUPIX paper which produces really good results
USING: Whatever it takes to get the job done...

I use Xpres for everything (bought through Xpres or BMS) £7.50+vat per 100 sheets at BMS if you're a Premium Member and it works a treat.

If you are waiting for a new printer to arrive make sure the cartridges you insert are sublimation, not like me i had normal cartridges in the box which i inserted.
