You've probably got a decent transfer. etch it, dano.

For inkjet paper brands, look in the database section. There are a
number of inkjet papers people have reported good results with. I've
used 2 brands, Georgia Pacific InkjetPlus+ and, iirc, office max
inkjet paper. Both did well though I am very very happy with the
Georgia Pacific stuff. Inkjet papers are coated to prevent the ink
from soaking into the paper and blooming. Its basically regular
inkjet paper - I'd bet any brand will work fine. Just make sure is
says "formulated for inkjet printers" or similar. Don't use laser
printer, copier or general purpose paper. Typically <$4 for a ream of 500.
