I only avoid high gloss stuff, or if its real thick with color. I have mostly been shredding phone books and junk mail. Never any magazines, and coupons from the new paper. As a rule of thumb ill get a page wet and if the ink comes off real easy it is OK to feed them. I also shred cardboard boxes just removed labels and packing tape.
