Masih Pake Tinta Original?

Ternyata tinta original harganya lebih mahal dari darah manusia untuk tiap mililiternya. Ga cuma darah aja, tinta original juga lebih parah mahalnya daripada antibiotik penisilin, vodka, minuman energi, air, bahkan minyak mentah.

"Blood may be thicker than water, but it appears ink is more expensive than human blood. The per-milliliter cost of an HP 45 printer cartridge is 71 cents, while blood comes out to 40 cents per ml"

(quoted from Gizmodo.com)

Ngitungnya gimana sih?

"He calculates that a $30 HP #45 black ink cartridge gives you 42ml, pricing out to $0.71/ml. Meanwhile, blood apparently costs $200 for 500ml from the Red Cross, pricing out to $0.40/ml."

"Ink for home printers is now seven times more expensive than vintage champagne.

Ink in a typical replacement cartridge costs about £1.70 per millilitre, compared with 1985 Dom Perignon at 23p per millilitre."

"If you were to fill up the tank of your car with Hewlett-Packard or Lexmark ink, it would cost $100,000," said Gerald Chamales, chairman of Rhinotek Computer Products, a Carson (Los Angeles County) manufacturer of ink and toner cartridges that are compatible with name-brand printers. "If you filled an Olympic-size swimming pool with ink from HP or Lexmark inkjet cartridges, it would cost $5.9 billion with a B." (from sfgate.com)
