Color printed paper bags OK to compost?
Is there any data on what kind of ink is being used for color printed paper bags -- grocery, fast food, etc.

I can't seem to find anything. I would think it is not terrible being that newspapers use soy ink. As far as the die not sure.
I compost it.
It's either that or the landfill. If it is at all toxic there can't be hardly any measurable amount and if so I'm taking one for the team.
:EDIT: here is a little something I found.
