    How heavy is heavy? Most papers only go to 350gsm max so this will cut down your options unless you want to get really heavy and go a duplexed stock.

    Whats you budget? As this will also impact on the paper type.

    Nice uncoated papers:
    Robert Horne Cosmic Offset, goes up to 350gms, takes ink well, not too expensive.

    McNaughtons Terreus, goes up to 350gsm, again takes ink well but is slightly textured, a good stationery stock.

    McNaughtons Regal Ice White 335gsm. Bulky paper, bit more expensive that cosmic, decent.

    Heavy and pricey,
    GF Smith Clourplan, comes in good range of weights, option to duplex if you want very heavy, good range of colours, white is good and comes in range of textures.

    Strathmore 300gsm very nice white stock, slightly textured good feel, expensive.

    Inuit Tactile, 300gsm, lovely paper, great stock. textured, also comes in an ultra smooth.

    Cheapo:
    McNaughtons Challenger White Pulpboard, goes up to 380 mic, decent enough but cheap.
