This is true, but I only notice this with cheaper paper. Most of the time I use draft quality for text. It still looks awesome. Nobody would really consider it draft. When using draft for pics, the quality suffers a lot, but most of the time it doesn't matter to me. While text doesn't show thru at all with the paper I use, you can see the ghost of pics though. I don't use any particular brand, but I do use only 24# paper, instead of the usual 20# paper. I also use only 90-92 brightness, nothing less. I can still get it for less than $5 per 500 sheets.
