Handwriting
 
Is there any such thing as a pad like backing to a piece of paper? Handwriting on a piece of paper that has several papers under it gives a cushioned like feel to a pen. I always write better with a pad of paper. I'm just curious if the same can be achieved with single pieces of paper.

You’d get a not dissimilar feeling from writing on particularly heavy paper stock, I guess. Why do you ask?

normal paper is around 80gsm for A4 printer stock I print on 90gsm with my laser printer what you are looking for will be around 130 gsm

This is 120gsm might be worth a go

My handwriting is soo much better when on a pad but for single pieces of paper it's difficult. Have I just invented something :LOL:

That's very informative. Thank you.

There's no such thing as a cushioned backing for writing on?

I made an A4 piece of hardboard coated with leather as a writing pad.
