Just trying out some Ryman typing paper which is A4 80gsm.
I bought this in a Ryman's shop in St Albans which is cathedral city founded originally by the Romans just to the North of London so quite an old fashioned place in some ways which is why I thought it would be a good place to look for typing paper when I had about half an hour to spare prior to a meeting.

The paper does type better than the standard laser printer paper I usually use. The text looks crisper. The paper looks less smooth than laser printer paper. I do have some 1970s WH Smith typing paper somewhere which will turn up eventually and will make an interesting comparison.

I use what I like to refer to as 'utility paper' for all my general typing and, standard office copy/inkjet printer paper for letter writing.

I got the idea of finding the utility paper from Joe V and found a great deal for 750 sheet reams of something called "letter, printer paper" sold at Target stores during the fall back to school sales.
These extra large reams can be had for $7.00 (US) and I try not to be selfish by limiting myself to 4 reams at a time.
It is made in the US for Target stores and others.
I have never used it in anything but a typewriter but it works well with a standard cloth/inked ribbon and is very readable in either black or red.
I have not tried it with the carbon/plastic tape machines but I don't see why it wouldn't work just as well.
I also like some paper I find at Hobby Lobby that looks like old news print paper but has a thickness close to the construction paper we used as kids.
Because this paper is rather soft I usually use it in one of the thrust action machines ("Noiseless") as it is sometimes easy to pierce the paper with the type slugs.
My kids find it amusing to look for holes made by the period, to see if I am writing in code to someone.....
I'm not sure where they get such active imaginations from.
Maybe I should take away their typewriters (?)  

Lately, I've been using onion skin paper made in Germany bought from The Paper Mill Store. It's not cheap at $38 per 500 sheets, but I save at least a stamp when I mail a six-page letter. For journal purposes, I commonly use extra-white bond paper, but I've started to use linen paper because I like the contrast. 

Kaweco Sport = great taste!  Ever use yours as an eyedropper?

Most of my Kaweco pens are used as eyedroppers, and work very well in that capacity, the only caveat being that you have to be very careful with them when traveling by air as they tend to burp - a lot. I'm not sure what you mean by running through ink: it can take me a couple of months to fully use up the ink in pens that have lesser-used colours in them. For me the added capacity of an eyedropper is a big bonus.
