HP

"HP makes compatible paper (they call their printer the Sprocket, I have no idea). Any paper that's the right size (2x3 I presume) that supports dye sublimation printing will work."
"Something like this paper would work HP Brochure Paper | Glossy Professional Laser | 8.5x11 | 50 Sheets (4WN11A) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07PYG18QY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_fabt1_99UWFbN9E1Q43"
"HP have this: [http://www8.hp.com/emea_africa/en/products/oas/product-detail.html?oid=4039125](http://www8.hp.com/emea_africa/en/products/oas/product-detail.html?oid=4039125)"
"Photo paper for laser printers exists, e.g. HP Laser Brochure Paper."
