Thanks for the update, Liz. I assume no  )👻 either  

 

Is that asking if there's ghosting?  (tiny little emoji is hard for me to figure out)  Anywho, no more than with any non-fountain pen.  I can tell there's writing on the other side of the page, but that's the paper's fault.  I'd see the same from a ballpoint, rollerball, gel pen, etc.

Yes ghosting. Sorry. 

Most inks I use often penetrate cheap paper. However, if I write with a light touch, I won't have a problem

Yeah, this showed no signs of trying to penetrate the paper I was using.  Given the age of the paper, it's entirely possible it's better than modern copy paper (seems like paper is getting worse, not improving).  There were slight hints of it trying to get through the puzzle paper (the "absorbent" paper mentioned in later reviews), but it didn't make it through, and this paper is basically thick newsprint.

 

And, as you say, a light touch really helps in this regard.

Here's the line width measurement. The line is one of those used for dry time.  Magnification is 100x.  The grid is 100x100µm.  The scale is 330µm, with eleven divisions of 30µm each.  The line width for this ink is roughly 300µm.
