Need Help Mimaki CJV 150-75

Hi everyone, I’m looking for some help with my printer. I purchased a CJV150-75 that has sat for about a year. It will not print,expired ink,not stored properly and I’m sure the head is completely clogged. It shows no errors other then the expired ink. I was hoping someone could give me some insight on what I should replace before I run it? I’m sure the head needs to be replaced but should I also replace the lines and dampers ?
Thanks

I would flush the lines with cleaning solution and replace the dampers. You're also probably going to need a new cap top as they dry out/flatten when they sit there unused for so long. While you're in there you might as well flush the pump and waste tubes to make sure they aren't clogged. The pumps themselves almost never fail luckily. You might be able to recover the head by doing head soaks and flushing but a year is pretty long to be sitting so the odds are against you but still worth a shot.
