I get print-through when I record from CD onto cassette. In this case, the print-through is DEFINITELY magnetic. Also, on commercially recorded tapes, you will hear print-through. The first really bad case I remember hearing was Led Zeppelin II (Whole Lotta Love). Both the record and tape of this album have print-through. Does anyone out there have the CD version?
