Burst Pipe Triggers Flood of Upgrades
It was a fairly routine day at Allegheny College Printing Services. Manager Mark Pritchard was talking with a customer when a popping noise made him turn and look toward his in-plant's Ikon CPP 650 color printer.
"All of a sudden the ceiling opened up," he recalls. The deteriorating cap on a drain line directly above the 650 had burst open, and a deluge of black sludge came pouring through the ceiling tiles and onto the machine. Pritchard grabbed a sheet of plastic and threw it over the printer, but it was too late.
