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.
