As a staff member on a daily newspaper for most of my working life, I came
into close ( very close and messy at times) contact with printing ink every
day. The ink didn't appear to harm me inwardly, but might well have had a
lot to do with me becoming folically challenged by the time I was 55.

Being a printer also, I can tell you that most modern inks are much
better now. Health and safety etc.
Though that's the reason why blanket washes and roller cleaners don't
work as well!
