Re: Clearing the air about large format inkjet prints

2006-10-30 by mccarvill

Thanks for the reply.

The inks are new (July 06) and the smell only lasts about 24 hrs. So 
I suspect the smell is probably normal - e.g. think about how much 
ink is being introduced into the air. What I was looking for was air 
purifier / cleaner recommendations to deal with the smell during the 
first smelly 24 hrs. Opening a window in winter isn't a favored 
option.

Cheers,

Mark
