Reply to comment by SalomeFern in I recently learned that humans can smell rain / petrichor (ozone and geosmin) better than sharks smell blood, now considering we don't have any extra hyper specific olfactory organs like some other animals do, how do we achieve this level of detection? by Corvuscoraxaphro

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.
