Roland Soljet CJ 500-help

[WRS Signs Peterborough]

Hi.
Recently purchased a Roland Soljet CJ 500,
I got it very cheap which suits me at this stage.
Mainly buying it for a larger plotter than my 610 machine and taking a gamble on the printer working.
Machine has sat up for 3 years.Not turned on or cleaned... just left in the corner abandoned.
Looking for advise on how to attack getting her printing..
What would be my first step..
I'm guessing g head is scrap ?
Pipes blocked and it has ciss cartridges (maybe clogged)
Anyone willing to advise me through this
I'm a novice when actually working with printers
Thanks

Probably not worth the effort/time/money. May be difficult to find parts for it as well (example:those printheads are no longer made). It's probably safe to assume that anything the ink has touched needs to be replaced at this point. Maybe the water based ink can be flushed out more effectively than if it were solvent ink
