Has anyone experimented with different brands of sub paper for printing on aluminium panels?

What brand do you recommend?

I'll be using an Epson L1800 6 ink printer, sublinova inks and printing mainly A3 plus.

Any other tips for a beginner in metal printing also much appreciated.

Thanks
Paul

Inktec do have an A3 paper - not sure if it's A3 plus, but it's a good match for their inks.

We use Ink Express 120gsm A4 Subli-Sharp paper, has worked great for us over the years. Also for sublimating on metal I have found to pre-heat the plate before pressing to get rid of excess residue/water, produces a much clearer print and reduces wastage.
