Hi All,
Apologies if this is in the wrong section. I'm an employee for a large signage company in Australia. We work from a pretty old building/warehouse. I'm having some issues with some confusion and misunderstandings from my supervisor and boss.
When I first started we had one digital printer, a Mimaki JV33 that sits in a pretty small room with some extraction hoses attached to it. Me and my co worker sit close to the room but we almost always shut the door while it's printing so that has never been a big deal.
The problem started when they bought a MUTOH Trafficjet 1638X, this now sits in the big open area we sit at our desks. Most people complained of the smell at first so they bought a PUREX 200 air filter box that they attached a hose with, this worked great until they realized they need to replace the filter roughly every 6-8 months. So they disconnected that and have now made some DYI makeshift hose with a fan extractor into the roof. I have a feeling this is not properly working as the distance from the printer to the roof is quite high ?
Now Just today I've asked to at least move desk areas so I'm not sitting in such close proximity to all the fumes, which is giving me headaches.
There's so much info out there to what works the best and what dosen't work at all, maybe if someone could explain what the best solution would be I give put it forth to my boss and get this fume problem sorted.
Also, I mentioned this system to him http://www.islandcleanair.com/units/d2000/ ..
He has yet to say anything about it for now though..
