Default Composting printed paper

My mother-earth sister, who is into all things green and environmentally
conscious, recently commented that I should not compost news print and other
printed paper, because of the lead in the ink.
I bring most of my waste printed paper to the recycling centre, but have
used shredded printed paper and newspaper in the compost heap.
What do experienced composters think?
