Does anyone else hate the ink from newspapers?

[MrPerson]

I don't know if its because I read most newspapers online, but it seems that reading an actual newspaper in the flesh involves getting a ton of ink on your hands.

Was it always this way?

[HopeHoops]

1. Yeah, it isn't nearly as greasy as it used to be - I hate that - Silly Putty won't pick it up!

2. It doesn't bother me.

I had a friend who read the newspaper with an oven mitt on
her left hand as she turned the pages with a butter knife in her right hand.

3. I don’t like it either.

I always have to wash my hands after reading the paper.

4. Don't you have your staff iron the paper before you read it?

:shrug:

5. It does not transfer to silly putty so therefore it is crap!

that really upset my son when we tried it a few years back.

9. Oh no!

That's pretty shitty.

[trof]

6. I have my valet iron the Times every morning.

That takes care of it.

7. A lot of newspapers don't have that sort of ink anymore.

I don't get much print on me anymore from the papers I read.

8. People still read actual newspapers?

I guess they're useful as bird cage liners or what have you, after you're done not reading half the thing.
