So what you're saying is that a person could literally smell the bulbs deteriorating before any other noticeable deterioration actually happens?

Would this be like me bringing the milk out of the fridge and leaving it on the counter and with less than a minute start to smell it going bad?

Are photocopiers not meant to smell like that? I kind of like the funky smell, I just thought it was normal for those machines.

OP is not talking about photocopiers. Ink and UV light to cure wett ink is a different printing tech than what you'd typically see in an office photocopier.

That being said xerographic printers (laser printer), typically found in office settings, generate ozone as part of the process. Ozone has always been that "copy machine" smell to me.
