Help with Mutoh Performancejet 2508UF

Hello, Nice to E-meet Everybody, quick question, 6 months ago we bought and started to use our Mutoh Performancejet 2508UF, right away we noticed there was ink overspray on the inside of the head, In a couple of weeks all the internals were covered in what it looks like cyan ink, I reached to the vendor and they contacted the manufacturer, Mutoh says this is normal and that this always happens to this type of printers, the pictures attached are from like 3 months ago, the internals are now completely cover and sticky, so much that the cyan color is now coming out to stain the railing and the moving mechanisms, ( in the pictures you can still see green circuit boards, they are fully covered in blue by now ) could you please let me know if this is something that is happening to your Mutoh Performancejet 2508UF?

I haven't had any experience with the PerformanceJets yet but in general, ink build up on PCB boards is a bad thing. I do see UV machine create more "ink dust" than others but that's why the boards should be covered/isolated from the environment. Mimaki UV machines have filters on their cooling fan intakes for this specific reason.
