I haven't done a lot of transfers, but I have some experience with
some of your questions. I have used arches 140lb (I think -- high,
anyway) hot press -- which is substantially smoother than cold press,
it depends on what kind of texture you like. Soak in hot water (I
think the heat does nothing but take out the sizing, if any -- the
paper cools off immediately) for 30 seconds. Long soaking will cause
the pigments to soak through the paper. Hope this helps.
