I've been having good transfers with HP Inkjet transparencies for a
couple years; better than I've ever had with paper. I bought in bulk
and don't have a part number. In addition to being able to align
better and no rubbing, you can monitor the progress of the transfer
better. I use an iron, so can adjust where I apply heat to get the
best results. Don't know how it would work with a laminator...

I tried many types of laser and wax transparencies and none worked as
well as inkjet.

Running inkjet transparencies through HP LaserJet type laser printers
and my Lexmark Optra E+ didn't cause any problems for the printer.
