Mod Bee editor to readers: "When our paper is printed in Sacramento, the ink will rub off on your fingers, but don't worry -- it's eco-friendly"

Modesto Bee editor Mark S. Vasché tells readers what to expect when their paper is printed in Sacramento starting tomorrow. One change -- the crappy ink will rub off on their fingers but readers shouldn't complain -- the ink is environmentally friendly.

The paper you get tomorrow morning will have been printed on a Goss Metroliner offset press that is bigger and faster and has three times the color capacity as the flexographic process we've used. And the soy-based ink we'll be using, while it does have a slight rub-off, is environmentally friendly.
