Best of the Cheapest Loose Leaf Paper for FP

[gearchow]

Title says it all.

I do a lot of scribbling at work and use the multi-use copy paper (20lb, 90 bright, Boise) widely available at the printer/copier - it's not very smooth, bleeds a bit with my medium nibs I like and bleeds through but it is cheap.

Can I do a little better buying outside and bringing into work?

waterman ink if that makes a difference.

+1 to the Sustainable Earth. I keep a ream of it in my desk, it plays well with the photocopier, printer and my fountain pens.

Wander into an office supply store to check on their reams of paper. Staples brand 28 lbs paper works for me.

Picked up a ream of #32 HP Laserjet Paper on Amazon. The cost was $10 and change which I ordered along with some other items. The shipping cost was pretty high though as i recall.high.

Paper is heavy! The 32# HP paper is nice stuff...very, very smooth and very, very white.

Here's another +1 for Staples' Sustainable Earth paper.

I've been using it for years....

I've heard from a few customers that the Sustainable Earth plays very well with fountain pens.

You could try a heavier weight paper such as 24# or 28#
