I heard once that butlers would iron the newspaper before giving it to thier employer so the ink wouldn't get on their hands.
Actually I think thats probably a very good idea Celeste :D . I didn't at the time and don't recall any problems, but it was a very long time ago, it would also pre-shrink the paper so there would be no probs that way as well
