Ask an Expert - Forum > Smooth, uncoated paper for fountain pens

I am seeking paper that works well with my fountain pens and inks. I need a very smooth, uncoated paper that is probably between 90 gsm and 120 gsm.

The best paper that I have found is Lessebo Design Smooth in 115 gsm.

I am wondering if there are alternatives worth considering, especially any that are even smoother. The Bendtsen rating of Lessebo Design Smooth is 120. Does anyone know of uncoated papers that are even smoother? And that would produce as little ink feathering, show-through, and bleeding as Lessebo Design Smooth?
