Digital BW, The Print

I'm sitting here, looking at EAM, and dark shades definitely show through- I
can't see the individual letters, but I can see that something was printed
on the back.  My question is why would you print on the back, if it might
show through?

you used 720 or 1440, the print would be much darker, and it might show
through.

The print on EAM paper does NOT show through to the front. I've done it
this way for 2 print exchanges.  Just use 360 DPI to print the text. If
you used 720 or 1440, the print would be much darker, and it might show through.

Well I did it, and the print did NOT show through on my prints. That's
all I can tell you. Again, I only used the 360 dpi mode, so the ink
isn't all that black on the text.
