Hard to say, depends much on the quality grades I guess. Check the 
polystyrene heatlth aspects on Wiki. It is used for food packaging. 
Styrene does not decompose fast so that is positive. Plasticiser could 
migrate. The other way around; an inkjet print could contain glycols, 
alcohols and glycerine after printing (the outgassing issue) that could 
be more a problem for polystyrene than for glass and acrylic as it is 
not inert to solvents and the fluids mentioned are mild solvents.
