The cost of the 500ml bottle and the cost of the 1,500ml bottle are virtually the same cost, the cap is the same cost and the label virtually the same cost, it's still around 2p per bottle to make including contents whether a 500ml, 1250ml, 1500ml or 2000ml bottle.

Not according to this http://www.cockeyed.com/science/gallon/liquid.html Yes I realised after I posted that. I just remember scorpion venom being in the list of expensive liquids when I read the article, which was in 2004 by the look of it. A Gartner analyst seems to have started the whole debate off. ss. |

The problem with this analysis is that one is not just buying the ink, but having to purchase the complex 'container' that it comes in each time. So this is not really a valid comparison. tim |

OK, so what about Coke v Petrol? Got to cost more to get the oil out of the ground, ship it here, process it, get it to the garage, store it in a very complex container, then dispense it? -- Dave The Medway Handyman www.medwayhandyman.co.uk 01634 717930 07850 597257 |

You can do the comparison on HP78 cartridges available in two capacities, otherwise identical. Prices from one supplier DE (19ml): £17.20; AE (38ml): £31.11. Taking the difference, that's £732 per litre -- Tony Bryer SDA UK 'Software to build on' http://www.sda.co.uk |

No, they're the opposite: you'll often find them at something like 28p for a small tin and 32p for a standard size, with the latter on offer at four for £1. -- Tony Bryer SDA UK 'Software to build on' http://www.sda.co.uk |

Be interesting taking a "sample" to the doctor... Lab report: This horse is not fit for work You two little ****s started the massive crossposting when previously it had been limited to 2 ngs so you well deserve anything in the way of consequences. You started it, the pressure is now going to be applied _to you_ to stop it. -- Phil Kyle™ T h i i s s l f i l S o n o i u e n g r s g |
