FAQ F-00088
What is the minimum exhaust ventilation flow rate required for a print and/or photocopy room?

The exhaust ventilation flow rate for a print and/or photocopy room must be at least 5l/s/m2 AND at least 10% greater than the supply rate of air. This ensures the space is negatively pressurised and pollutants do not escape to neighbouring areas. 

Refer to AS1668.2- 2012 for further details.
