Does anybody have experience of this paper?
Does it ever dry?

how much ink are you printing onto it?
What ink are you using?

I'm doing everything the same as I have with Trupix and Xpres papers. Ricoh GXe3300 Subli-JetR.

It's a different paper, so don't expect it to be the same - try reducing the amount of ink you're laying down, or have a drying rack/area near your heat press, also different papers affect the colour of the print transfer too so you may need a new ICC making up to the one you had made for TruPix or Xpress papers.

I've got a sheet I printed nearly 10 hours ago and it is still not completely dry. When I pressed one, the colours were great, unfortunately because it was not totally dry, there were smudges.
I'm going to give up on this lot. Longforte are sending me some of their Ultra dry paper to try and I'll be ordering some more Trupix today. I only got it to simplify my ordering by trying to get what I needed in one delivery.

Tried both sides, the other side dried almost immediately, but did not transfer much colour to the mug.

That's what I thought, but the mug on the left was the result. Mug on the right was using a slightly damp print.
