Used set of mimaki inks for UJF 3042mkii for diagnostics

[krisxone]

I picked up a used UJF 3042mkii that's been sitting around for a few years. Unfortunately, the previous owner lost the ink bottles along with the caps. The machine powers on and doesn't throw any errors aside from a low ink warning from one of the colors i think. I know there's a good chance I bought a paperweight, but I have no way of testing the unit without the ink bottles and caps.

I was wondering if there's anyone that has a used set of inks+caps they could either sell to me or lend to me for a fee, just to see if I can get this machine going. I really don't want to throw +$1000 at this machine with the unknown condition of the printhead.

Best bet is to empty the ink you can using a syringe and get a couple of bottles of UV flush and can pour them in bit by bit to flush the machine. Colors will probably be fine, white ink is where the pain comes in.
