Cheap Fp Friendly Paper (Cream Colored)?

[sodiumnitrate]

I'm looking for paper that is FP friendly but not as expensive as TR paper to practice my DIY journal/book binding skills. There are also a few ebooks that I'd like to print and bind. I would love to have something that is cream-colored, and is available in A4 and A3 sizes. Also, I'd prefer it not to be as thin as TR paper. 90-100 gsm would be perfect. Do you know anything that matches these criteria that I could order within the US for a reasonable price?

Hey Salt. I can't think of a cream colored notebook but if you don't mind white, Black&Red notebooks are cheap and FP friendly

Thanks! I'm looking for loose sheet, though. (Also sodiumnitrate is a cool salt cause its formula spells out nano3 )

There's always Tomoe River. It's not cheap, though

There are lots of papers available ( I would suggest Double A, as it is inexpensive, very FP friendly and availalble in A4 and A3 reams, but sadly for your needs, only in bright white...) but it is the cream colour that is the problem.

Most inexpensive papers are bright white because they are made for office copiers and printers,

 

You could try a bookbinder's supply shop, like John Neal - http://www.johnnealbooks.com/prod_detail_list/bookbinding-supplies

Alright so I'll post an update for those who might be searching for a similar thing. I went to a staples today, and talked to 3 of their employees for 20 minutes until I decided to try their pastels series. It looks like it can handle fountain pens. It's a bit darker than cream-colored TR paper. There is absolutely no bleeding (with relatively well behaving inks but very wet pens like Noodler's nib creaper. I tried MB toffee brown, diamine ancient copper, and parker quink, and they all performed well). There is very very slight feathering, especially if the pen writes very wet. The shading is also a little limited. But, for a cheap notebook, it'll do nicely. Once I figure this whole bookbinding thing I will pivot to TR paper
