I bought a T-962A oven and upgraded it with the firmware by the Unified Engineering.
Now I am wondering - what kind of solder paste should I buy to use the standard profiles.
Thanks!

Any decent solder paste will have a solder profile in its datasheet. The UE firmware also has some pre-programmed profiles. Depending on what you intend to do.Even with the improved firmware and the HW modifications, the actual temperatures of the T962A have the inherent problem of any IR heater: they depend more on surface absorption and distance to the IR source than anything else.
I once tried soldering two-sided PCBs and simply placed them on the large caps, which had been soldered in the first run. The PCB was now about 10mm closer to the heaters.
Result: the burned PCBs still sit on my desk to remind me of this desaster. The room became usable again after about three days with the window constantly open. The smell of burned FR4 is incredible.
