in any type of printing it isn't the thickness that counts for the ink but what the machine can handle its' self. The other problem you have to worry about is the type of paper and will the ink flow or smear on it.

It all depends on the printer and the path the paper must take through the printer. If the paper has to take a lot of different bends or go around a roller, then the paper weight is going to be severly limited. It's best to check the documentation for your printer or check with the website for your printer's manufacture and go the the support area. Then, it's just a matter of looking up your printer and getting the documents for your printers.

There is no theoretical limit to the thickness that can be printed, since ink jet is a strictly surface printing technology. The surface doesn't even need to be flat.. you will find ink jet printing on soda bottles, magazine address label area, huge cardboard cases.
the thickest paper that will fit in an ink jet printer is determined by the design of the specific printer. Some of them have a paper thickness adjustment lever.
My CANNON I 9000 handles TAG STOCK (80 pound) with no problem.
I have another Ink jet that can print the top of CDs and DVDs.
I always wanted one that can print on T-shirts.

Different printers can, of course, accept different weights of paper. Paper weights are guaged in weight. About the heaviest I'd use would be a 70lb paper. Thanks for the question, Larry

As long as the paper can bend easily enough to go through the printer it should be fine, i don't know about any specific type.

Usually, 65lbs is the limit, although check inside the printers manual or website and it will give the maximum weight it can use.
