newspaper for worms

[shuorc]

Read somewhere that the formula for colored print was changed, does that mean all the warnings about not using newspaper with colored printing/pictures is 'old hat'???? Wondering because the local paper seems to have few pages without it. --shu

My worms prefer the Wall Street Journal.

So do the worms dump crud all over themselves on days when the stockmarket loses money?

If anything the ink is safer. Back in the day ink was alcohol based, when I was in the industry it was soy based, and it may be water based today. I remember my dad and grandpa using newspaper back in the 70's. The problem with color is the color is made up from a variety of elements from the periodic table. Not all of them are worm friendly. Stick to the black and white pages and you'll be fine.
There is a whole world around color. CMYK color model - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
That will get you started in the printing inks used in newspaper.
