I thought the problem is not the printing ink/toner, but, rather, the
(chlorine?) bleach used to make the paper white? Book publishers
(especially US) also often identify the paper used as being 'acid-free',
but what about other paper?


Book publishers identify paper as acid free to indicate that the paper
doesn't self destruct in the way that non acid free paper does.

Ah ... and here I thought it was environmentally friendly somehow...
(good news for paperbacks I'm fond of, though)
