The printers being discussed here are HP's "Photosmart" series, which use
dye-based inks. I'm not sure what you mean by "thermal heads": there is a
difference among inkjet printers in terms of the technology by which ink
droplets are produced (a tiny pulse of heat vs. a tiny shove from a
piezoelectric element), but that doesn't affect the droplet itself. In any
case, HP Premium Plus paper is recommended for HP Photosmart printers, and
it's quite nice, although I'm finding I prefer the results on Ilford
Galerie Classic.
