Can’t directly weigh in, but what I am aware of is that nanoparticles of TiO2 interacts with UV absorbers in sun screen to accelerate the breakdown of aromatic sunscreens into toxic substances, from doing research for a paper on that topic.
So, it is possible that TiO2 might interact with the other components of the ink.
