I think I may have tracked the stuff down. It's listed as "Staples Glossy
Inkjet Paper A4, 130gsm, white", item number 361690. \ufffd5.29 for a 20-sheet
pack. Sounds like a variant of photo paper, maybe similar to HP Photo Paper
(not to be confused with HP Premium Photo Paper, which has a much higher
gloss finish). HP Photo Paper feels slightly "slick" and has a glossy
appearance, while Premium Photo Paper will stick to damp fingers and seems to
be a fair bit thicker.
They've also got "90gsm Premium Inkjet Paper", item 361689. \ufffd2.69 for a
200-sheet pack. I guess it's similar to HP Coated Inkjet Paper, i.e. matt
coating, totally hopeless for TT.

I guess you iron straight onto the back of the photo paper, rather than
having a sheet of copier paper between the TTP and the iron (as you do with
PnP)?

Later.

... I'm sure it's in the manual somewhere
