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?
