using shredded office paper in compost


Hi Friends,  Below is a question from a neighbor. 
 
"I have a quick question I would like your thoughts on.  I have been shredding all of my office paperwork and tilling it into my veggie garden to improve the soil.  Do you see any danger in this - in terms of inks/chemicals?"
 
Any knowledge about this or advice on a source from which I can get an answer?  I used to be on some compost lists, but don't know what happened to them.
 
Thanks,
Judy Tiger, Washington DC
