Need Help Getting a Mimaki UJF-3042 ready for transport – need advice

[Ststyner]

Hey guys,
I’m looking for some advice on how to prep a Mimaki UJF-3042 for transport.
The tricky part is, I need to get it through an 80 cm doorway – so either it goes through sideways or in pieces
My first idea was to remove the bottom flatbed/table from the printer. But I’m not sure how to do that properly without damaging anything. If anyone has experience taking one of these apart, I’d really appreciate some pointers.
Second option: drain the ink, secure the print heads, etc. – but I’m not exactly sure how to do that step by step either.

Any help or tips would be greatly appreciated!

If it's a MKII, do not take the unit apart. A MK1 is more doable. That said, if you torque the frame wrong and wreck alignment, can take days to get things running right. Seen this on both variants when it went wrong, and the printer basically became a parts unit.

Quick addendum: The cost of knocking out and widening an interior doorway is usually way cheaper than the cost of damage that can easily be incurred to the printer. If it's an exterior wall, good luck.
