Which inks which can safely be added to vermicompost bins?

I've been shredding and composting my junk mail, to get rid of the damn stuff and also get carbon into the compost. But recently it occurred to me that the inks could have toxic stuff in them and that this could get into food in the garden. Does anyone know anything about this?

    @JoshuaFrank Let me know if the answers there addressed your question and we'll close this as a duplicate of those. – Lorem Ipsum Sep 21 '11 at 19:37
  • @LoremIpsum: Actually, none of these really do address the question completely. It sounds like inks on glossy paper might be toxic, but I'm not sure if the inks on regular white paper are okay. – Joshua Frank Mar 26 '17 at 17:18
