Under both 30x and 100x magnification, there's no sign of 
anti-aliasing. That ain't it, sorry, those are hard edges. The 
ink doesn't look all that opaque under magnification either, 
but I still think the biggest deal is the stroke weight. Give 
us old guys some visual contrast. They don't make light the 
way they used to.
