I'm not really sure. Apparently the ink is contained within the glass
tube
 that is inserted in front of the pull switch. Once the glass tube
breaks, the
 ink flies. It probably is reasonably priced, considering that we charge
for
 every false alarm (except the first one) that occurs in a calendar
month.
 Alarms two - four are $25.00, five - eight $50.00, eight+ $100.00. If
there is
 an actual fire, we don't charge for the call. I know we dropped in
false calls
 to several dorms that had these installed. I'll see if I can get a
price.
