Fountain pen-friendly printer paper? (lemmy.world)

I occasionally have to read & critique manuscripts for work and I find it much easier to do with a printed page. But the computer paper that we have in the office is not ideal for fountain pens - tons of bleeding and feathering.

Does anybody have experience with computer printer paper that is relatively FP friendly?

I thought I might keep a ream or two at my desk and swap out some sheets when I'm about to print something that I'll be writing on. (Something relatively budget friendly would be great too... Not planning on putting Tomoe River through the office printer!)

HP Premium 32lb paper is widely regarded as the best fountain pen friendly printer paper. $15 for 500 sheets. It is really thick (120gsm).

Follow-up - I bought this and it works great! And yes - it is really thick. I think the reams of the usual printer paper at the office are going to develop an inferiority complex. Thanks again for the recommendations!

Kokuyo KB Business paper, I use it to print my own custom dot grids for disc binding.
