    Our design and rip stations are in pretty close proximity to our printer and we're usually dizzy by midday from the fumes.

    I see a provision for a vent on the rear side cover of our machine.

    Anyone venting theirs outside at all?

    I assume your inks aren't eco-solvent? I heard breathing that stuff in is pretty bad for you, I would air that out as much as possible.

    I am venting my Valuejet, the smell gives me headaches, so I drilled two six inch holes in the back of the unit and used 120mm fans to pull out the smell into a carbon box.

    my 1604 is right next to my workstation... when we are printing alot the fumes do get to me. I have to get up and open the door and get some air.

    It scares customers off now annd then... especially when lasering Acrylic or the worst: LEATHER! GAG!

    we're printing pretty steady most of the day on ours and w/ the ecosol inks it's getting bad. I need to rig up some vents/fans.

    Valentino, you got any links to the fans you used?

    Our valuejet used to be in a tiny room along with the rip station. Never bothered me! Like mac said....smells like money!

    Danger to your lungs. No doubt. Just ask any fireman what plastic smoke does to lungs. This is not just a run of the mill worry. IT is a fact and it will cause ppl to lose lung function.

    If your going to vent your printer do not use a bathroom fan, unless you want a fire.

    I'll source something appropriate. I've seen mimaki's JV3 with a vent system, I was hoping I could pick that up, but it's probably worlds cheaper to source my own stuff.
