For a design studio housing printing facilities a studio space would be more appropriate, however this would bring the inks in very close proximity to expensive technology without their appropriate cleaning facilities. Perhaps it would be moe convenient to have only desk space at Duke Studios and printing facilities elsewhere, or even to hire printing facilities.
