I doubt this matters too much.  I've used RC paper simply because that is what I
have on hand.

Winsor & Newton is what I've used.  Don't know about the Sumi inks.
On the other hand, my last carbon printing session using Winsor & Newton pigment
and transfered to RC paper didn't produce anything spectacular.  I got several
prints, but they were pretty weak.  I don't think that these materials were the
problem though.  I was tinkering with light sources.
