  3. JV33 ES3 to Triangle JVV conversion

    what is needed to do to the machine for this conversion? full line, damper and head flush? my boss said the triangle tech told him to just switch the cartridges and let the ink flush the lines but that just doesnt sound right to me, let alone the colors mixing and never being able to match them...
