Why does it smell like chemicals in the pressroom area?
Although the odors in a printing plant can be offensive, be assured that what you are smelling is not toxic or unsafe. The air circulation system insures the vapors or solvents do not get to a dangerous level. Like most industries, odors occur during the process of production. Employees working in these industries will tell you they don’t even notice the smell because they have become used to it. Evangel Press strives to make sure the air quality is kept at safe levels by maintaining a good ventilation system. The odors in our plant are produced mainly from the printing presses which use soy and oil based inks. Isopropanol alcohol and other solvents are also used. We can produce perfect bound books using a hot melt glue binding system. The melted adhesive produces an odor that can be quite offensive, but is very safe when ventilated properly. We monitor our air quality to insure the environment in our plant is safe for our customers and employees.
