Letter writing paper recommendations? (self.fountainpens)

I currently have a Life writing pad for letter writing. I like it, but I would like to try some other loose leaf paper. Does anyone have recommendations? I would prefer lined, but unlined is ok if the paper is thin enough to use a guide sheet underneath.

I purchased a ream of HP Premium32 printer paper in 2020 and found a couple of sites that offer ruled paper templates. I use the templates to print my own writing paper on a black and white laser printer.

It isn't Clairefontaine, but it is very nice to write on. I highly recommend it.

Oh that's a great idea. I have a ream of coated paper designed for ink jets I could try!

This is what I do as well. It works. It doesn't show the shading like some papers but it's perfect for everything else.

You can find templates online for putting a dot grid on the paper, lines, or a true grid.
