The typeface for newsprint used to be lead-based, so I suppose a
minute amount of lead might have got transferred to the printed
paper
during the printing process, but I doubt that that's how moderns
printing is done.

Considering that the printing plates produced a million odd copies,
the amount which came off on to the paper must have been absolutely
minute.
