Agreed on the paper being at fault. I use the same pens (not really a fountain pen I don't think, my favorites being the reletivly cheap uni-ball vision elites) but most paper is way to thin. If you buy halfway decent notebooks, and take a little bit of care though, most of the ink stays on the right side of the paper. If the paper looks/feels more pourous and rough, its definatly going to go clear through. I use college ruled 5-star notebooks and have minimal problems.
The marbled composition books though... Forget it.
