I've found that fine-point sharpies bleed through every kind of paper. What kind of paper do you use?

Just a Mead 5-subject spiral notebook. It's not super thin paper, but it's not really heavy, either. I've never had an issue of bleed through, but I don't write on the back side of the page, either.

Sharpie makes a pen specifically for writing with now; grandparent post is probably not referring to the gray permanent marker you're envisioning.
