Use ultra heavy media weight or card stock. It is very important that you use the multi pass tray single sheet at a time facing up to avoid jamming.
As far as heat press pressure for the two papers without knowing how yours is setup I suggest you do the following:
1) Turn the knob half turn at time.
2) Keep count of the number of half turns.
3) Close and lock the clamp.
4) Open the clamp and repeat steps 1 , 2 and 3 until the clamp is very hard to close.
5) Turn the knob the opposite direction half the number of half turns.
6) Mark the position of the knob with nail polish to keep track of where you need to set the pressure the next time. Or just repeat the procedure above.
This will place your press at medium pressure.
BTW I use silicon baking cookie sheet when pressing the two papers to minimize polymer speckle on the red sheet. If you are going to use the baking sheet you need to put it on the lower platten when you are setting the first pressing pressure.
Make sure that you preheat the lower platten before you press your first set. You can do that by closing the clamp for 7 to 10 seconds with the set temperature.
Before pressing the first red paper on the shirt you also need to preheat the lower platten for the transfer heat setting.
I press with very heavy pressure at 400F between 10 to 15 seconds.
