Is computer ink safe for rats?

I've heard that shredded newspapers aren't good for rats because the ink can be toxic. I have a bunch of shredded computer paper, is that okay to let them use?Is computer ink safe for rats?
NoIs computer ink safe for rats?
NO
Here's how I see it. So long as the paper is temporary or used only at play time there's no problem. Essentially, I just wouldn't use it as a base bedding in their cage. I always use fabric as a base in their cage, and if I were using bedding I'd use CareFresh instead of wood shavings which have tons of dust. Anyway, so long as you make sure to change it out often and use it only *sometimes*, then you should be good to go.
yes it should be ok
probably not...
