My question deals with the ink. Does ink (say from the N&O and
the Chatham Record) have chemicals, lead, etc. in it, and would it
be really bad to use it in a veggie garden?

Does anyone know about using office paper, cash register receipts,etc ? I
usually shred my financial papers, and was wondering if I could add it to the
mulch pile.

I have used small quantities from my own hp printer. The above is one
of their MSDS sheets. Not particularly toxic or mutagenic, but if one
does not know what was used then it is best to probably stay away from
it as a mulch. The inks may contain other harmful substances in the
solvents used.
