An old based (hydrophobic) ink is almost always used. Often the solvent is soy or other vegetable oil because these are very inexpensive to use and are very easy to obtain.

Color printing is more difficult, but some companies specialize in making inks for the newspaper printers.

Most newspaper ink is vegetable/soy-based.
