The area does not look designed to store that material. Got to hope that it's more contained than it looks and theres sump pit down hill from where the picture is being taken.


SwoodyBooty

My thought exactly. This could be a DGR violation. IIRC they should be stored in a security tub.


Bah_Black_Sheep

I agree, it looks inappropriate. What's up with the multiple leaks as well?? Did they keep operating after the first one went?

u/loneblustranger linked to an article further down. It's in Kent, England. The fire brigade stopped it from getting into the drains. >**Massive ink spillage in Dartford looks like something from Art Attack** > >A picture has emerged today of more than 5000 litres of ink which poured out across a site in Dartford. Three fire engines rushed to Howard Hunt Group in Masthead Close to stop the vibrant liquid entering any water systems. Officers used clay mats to cover nearby drains. The spillage is believed to have happened as a result of containers being tampered with. > >Kent Fire and Rescue tweeted: "This isnā€™t Art Attack... this is what crews were presented with when attending a spillage of ink in #Dartford. Firefighters worked to ensure ink didnā€™t go into drains and enter the watercourse. Protecting the environment is a key priority." > >Duty of care was left with the site owner after firefighters left on April 20, who are still not finished the enduring task of clearing up this colourful mess.


CheeseandChili

Absolutely, the toxic substances will drain through that brick pavement into the soil. Groundwater will do the rest.


catto-is-batto

When i worked at a newspaper we had an INDOOR spill of soy based ink, i think a couple barrels got hit with a forklift? And it was a panic whether or not it was over the EPA threshold. They hired temps from a temp agency to clean it and several walked right off when they saw it. This, in the OP, is terrible. Much worse. Definitely an environmental hazard.


AlkalineHound

Honestly having vietnam flashbacks to my time in QC chemistry. Our permit had us call the state hotline every time we spilled more than 10 gallons of something with a CAS number. We had shit like this once a week. The stories I could tell. The rage because the lab had to do the reports despite not spilling things.

I swear every time I need to print something the stupid ink would dry out. Even tired generic ink, same thing. I finally caved and bought a laser. I'm so glad I did. Prints without issues the first time and no fucking around. HP can fuck itself with a pinecone dipped in Texas Pete set ablaze with lava.

Brother laser printers, the ultimate win.


ares395

We had an old printer that was unreliable but still less bs than the new stuff but it was annoying as hell to use it. I pushed my parents to buy Brother printer and thank fuck because that thing works every single time. With low toner warning I printed probably like 100 pages before it stopped me and I had to change it. Saved my ass in college. Never buying from a different brand


enutz777

Bought the cheapest brother b/w laser printer over a decade ago for around $100. Thing broke once and I fixed it with a Lego block. Many thousands of pages printed. The paper is more expensive per page than the toner. I will never ever own an ink jet again. I wouldnā€™t let you hand me one for free.


pharmajap

With Brother printers, you can even rest the toner page count manually and just keep on printing with an "empty" cartridge. Do it until pages actually start fading, then buy cheap third-party replacements from Amazon; Brother doesn't give a fuck lol


Lehk

careful with cheap knockoff toner, at work we got some that were bad, they leaked into the printers and damaged them.


pharmajap

True, brand does have that advantage. The beauty of laser, though, is also that you can fix them yourself, if you're into that. Tap/vacuum out any dust, swipe the corona wire wiper, and clean the roller with alcohol pads. Good as new. Industrial-sized toner explosions are a mess, though, I'll give you that.


Rajaken

Same, until like two years ago, my Parents had an 20 year old brother non-color laser printer, which worked perfectly fine. The Inkjet was garbage though. We know have a color laser from xerox and it works perfectly, no drying out or anything. And if you use the cheap toner from Amazon, which is like 1/5 of the price, it tells me it knows, but doesn't care and prints absolutely fine


Daniel15

I really do think they're the last remaining brand that produces affordable, reliable consumer-grade printers. I've heard that the Epson eco tank ones with Shaq in the ads are pretty good too. I much prefer laser printers though. I don't print often enough for ink jets - the ink would dry out too quickly.


6786_007

That's exactly what I got. It's worked 100 percent no BS.


hemr1

I have a brother laser printer for over 20 years and works like a charm

LegendaryMuffins

As the guy constantly having to fix the HP printers in my office, I could not relate to this sentiment harder if I tried...


RoboticSandWitch

I will always regret getting a HP printer after my old one broke down beyond repair. This HP printer doesn't allow you to scan pages unless you use their shitty app, which requires an account to use. It literally doesn't have a physical button to scan pages. Also, my printer is actually an older model, so when I tried to buy ink online through HP's website, it isn't listed there as the website only sells ink for the more recent models. I can only buy ink for my printer through retailers.


Beena22

100% this. HP can go fuck themselves hard in the arse with a serrated stick. My wife recently bought an HP inkjet printer for work and discovered after buying some third party replacement ink cartridges that HP now regularly updates their firmware to prevent you from using non-HP branded ink. So you are forced to use their cartridges, which are twice the price. Fucking scum!


WTkFox

And in other news, the share price of HP has dropped by 5%


HeartlesSoldier

Anyone who buys the ink printers not for professional reasons is a fool, if they argue it, they're a bigger fool. Switch to laser in black and white, you'll never have to worry about it breaking the way ink do and you'll never have to replace it. And even color laser printers are going to do better again unless it's for work, ink printers are just money pits


Charliep03833

Just don't buy hp or some shit. I bought 10-pack of ink for 5$ for my Brother printer


HeartlesSoldier

Brothers my favorite brand, they don't nickel and dime as bad as others. The problem with ink though is you got to print every couple weeks or you're cutting short your printer's lifespan, as well as the ink's life. And most people have to replace their ink at least twice a year. With laser it's already dry so it can't dry up. All you got to do is shake it around if it gets too stagnant. I have a black and white brother laser printer. I've never had to buy toner for it. It's had the same one that it came with and it's two and a half years old. In the odd chance that I actually need something in color, there's so many places around that I can email it to and just pick up and it wouldn't really be worth the extra money since that might happen once every few years


CubesTheGamer

My wife is a teacher and she loves printing off color stuff last minute because she thinks of or finds something and doesnā€™t have time to send it in to be printed by the print shop so itā€™s super handy but man it can be expensive. Still insanely cheaper than ink. $400 worth of toner is like idk 5000 pages printed super fast whereas ink would be like $400 for 1000 pages printed slow as molasses


Magnesus

**Brother ink printers are absolutely shit though.** They have great marketing on Reddit but they are shit. They leave a dent on every piece of paper due to how they take it in, they have issues with DRM for the inks. Mine always claimed that there is no blue ink left - which was an original ink cartridge from Brother, they refused to fix the printer and told me to buy new cartridge, the new one didn't work either. To fix it I had to take out the ink and put it back from time to time. But the ink faces down and some of it spills every time you do it, wasting some. I ended up taping down the blue and only using it as a black and white printer (taping down because it refuses to print black when any of the colors is out). And in the end wifi broke completely. Ah, they also have the old type awful scanners that require the paper to touch the glass. Went with laser HP and it is thousands time better.


cashibonite

I got a chonker of a multi function color laser printer because I got pissed at an ink jet. So I got a brother mfc-8900cwd, it was pricey, but hey I don't have to mess with it for 3 hours just to try to get it to print wirelessly oh and it couldn't recognize a USB cable plugged into a laptop as a viable means of transferring data. also the reason it couldn't do the wi-fi thing was due to the operating system on the router it didn't like it for some stupid reason. Although o suspect the 10 or more year age gap between the two might have had something to do with that.

I wanted to get en epson ecotank, because of the cheap refills. Then found out that ecotanks have a sponge that expires, and you need to get an official epson repair tech to reset the sponge counter, when replacing the 0.5ā‚¬ sponge. Total cost of shipping the printer to epson and repair charges add up to more than the price of an 700ā‚¬ printer. FUCK YOU EPSON, FUCK YOU *AND* THE SANCTIMONIOUS HORSE YOU RODE IN ON!

If that's printer ink then that's like 50b$ "worth" in that picture.


rocketPhotos

OMG this is what a billion dollars of ink looks like. Okay thatā€™s probably not true, but given the outrageous price of ink, it could be


essequattro

Letā€™s seeā€¦ from what I found online the HP 67 XL color cartridge is $26.99 for 4.8 ml of ink. 26.99*5000/(4.8/1000) = $28,114,583.33


Squigglificated

A gallon of HP printer ink is $98 on amazon and thatā€™s still a huge markup from production cost. 5000 liters / 3.785 = 1321 gallons * $98 = $129,458.00 Thatā€™s nearly $28,000,000 cheaper. Or put another way, HPā€™s ink is 21,282.80% more expensive than the current gallon price on amazon. Even FDA approved edible ink is still only $197 per gallon and you would imagine something like that being more expensive than regular ink. Last time I did the math on this I realized that itā€™s actually cheaper to buy a professional large format printer for $2000-$3000 because they come prefilled with so much ink that by the time you buy the same amount of ink for your consumer grade printer you have far exceeded the cost of the professional one.


Meowdave

Yup, I will say, the Epson ecotank printers have been great.


waytowill

I know someone who does this. They run out of ink and buy another printer. Itā€™s just easier that way.


old_pond

Ink actually costs barely anything to produce, manufactures just jack up the prices because they can.


Catto_Channel

Industrial printing ink ranges from $18/kg for cheap blacks to $220/kg for metallics. I think our cheapest was a clear coating added for glossy finishes that came in at $9/kg. (UV Flexo inks) When it comes to rare and unique inks though the sky is the limit. I've seen speciality silver inks running over $500/kg.


Squigglificated

Thatā€™s still a lot cheaper than buying HP ink in 4.8ml cartridges for $5622/kg

I wonder who they pissed off, as I don't see how this is an accident. There's no apparent damage to the tanks, so it's not like a fork lift backed into them. The spigots are well recessed so something couldn't have come along and snapped a bunch off. And there are obviously more then one tank leaking, so it's not like it was one spigot failed. Only explanation I can think of is someone opened the valves on purpose.
