Ventilation Questions

[leegreen]

Do most of you have extractors in your work environments?

We are starting to install more machines, and I just wonder if there is a need for an extractor to remove the fumes.

I understand there is a difference with colour machines to black machines.. Black copiers create more Ozone by arcing of Corona wires compared to Colour machines...

Any thoughts on this?

ROFL... and I thought you were a digital printer?

We used to have much smaller premises and the (litho) press area was basically right next to where the customers came in to place orders / pick stuff up etc. The smell of alcohol was pretty strong sometimes and customer reactions were interesting... a lot of them loved it and asked what the nice smell was. Telling them that they were enjoying the aroma of neat alcohol seemed kind of rude, so we always just said "printing chemicals"!
