I mean, yeah it will but the better question is do you want it? It’s not desireable as bedding or food or plant material.
Somethings are just better to go in the reclycle bin at the curb and become toilet paper for the next user.

i would shred it for main pile or use the sheets for worms. as long as it’s not glossy. it looks like newsprint to me, which tends to be soy-based ink.
what “can/should” go in also depends on how you plan to use the finished material.

No on two counts. Coated papers and 4 color inks are both bad candidates for composting.

Unless you know it is safe/sustainable, likely soy-based, ink, just toss it. It’s not your fault they put cancer on paper.
Trash it.
Yes. But why would you want to?
