maybe
This has come up before with our customers and there are some things to be watch for. That printer has sub tanks that are foil pouches. These may be hard to flush completely out due to the fact they never fill completely up before allowing fluid to leave the pouch. The other thing is firmware, an aqueous Value Jet has a different firing pattern than a solvent printer. Look at trading in the 64" for a smaller Mutoh Dye Sub printer
