When the photocopier runs out of ink

A remark made after a counterfeit or fake item, that was falsely being presented as an original, is exposed, typically due to the discovery of the original, followed by a visual comparison of the two. The phrase can also used without the appearance of the original item, in situations where the imitation item malfunctions or breaks in a manner that would not be seen in the original.

Guy#2: Yes I saw! You know thats what happens when the photocopier runs out of ink!
