Welcome to NeuroTalk.

I am an artist too, with alot of experience with printmaking.
I am not doing it "now" but I did a major of it in art school.

I wonder what kind of printing you do? Silkscreen?
Xylol, which is used in some inks is very hard on the nervous system, and oil based print inks as well have solvents which over time you inhale during clean up.

Over time you can develop a peripheral nerve damage from exposure to the various solvents.

Many of the inks contain heavy metals, and these too, you may become toxic from. Cadmium, lead etc.

Just a thought.
