Why Would I Want To Know The Ph Of An Ink?

Usually, I would think that an FP ink is excempt.

Ironically, a friend of mine once had to file an MSDS report for some computers her company had. I don't remember all the details at this point as to whether they were shipping the computers to a customer or another location or what -- just that she thought it was the stupidest thing that she ever had to do at that job: "Uh, dangers? Well if you drop it you run the risk of breaking your foot...." It wasn't as if the computers were being dismantled and they had to notate stuff such as what potential hazards there could be from eating the wiring or anything (although presumably stuff like that was made of semi-rare elements -- or the plastic casing itself -- that *could* be toxic if the building they were in caught fire...).

Don't move to California... Half of my art supply cabinet fell under Prop-65 warnings (paints containing chromium and cadmium, Winsor&Newton drawing inks with formaldehyde and other such compounds; turpentine, various varnishes).

As a somewhat frequent visitor I have always though the Prop 65 warnings silly. California should just install signs at border crossings and airports that says "This state contains stuff that causes birth defects and cancer" and then be done with it.

I used to say that, if my apartment burned down, we'd have to declare another superfund clean-up site (besides the aforementioned art supplies, there were the firearm supplies [lead bullets "Oooo, poison"], and half a number of automotive lubricants and cleaning supplies -- a quart of MEK anyone? At least I didn't keep the bleach and the ammonia in the same cabinet)
