Default suggestions for a shop layout for my presses?

I'm about to set up a four color, one station press, flash dryer, washout booth etc., in a room in my basement and I'm having trouble wrapping my head around the most efficient layout. I don't have a conveyor so at this point it's not a concern. Are there any rules of thumb for this? Best practices? How many tables/work surfaces are needed? This is an internal room with no venting outside; is venting required?
Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Default Re: shop layout

There is a thread somewhere here on the forum where members posted pictures of their shop. Look at those for ideas.

There are no hard and fast rules. Whatever fits best in the space you have available.

Yes, I think venting would be an essential requirement because of the chemicals involved.
