Roland VS-540 Print Test Bad Results

Hello,

I was getting ready to sell a Roland VS-540 for my company and one of our designers went to perform a test print with it and it came out poorly. It has been sitting for a while but has been on the whole time with the auto clean running from what I've been told. I have attached a picture of the print results and was wondering if anyone could help me diagnose what the possible issue could be causing these results. Ideally I'd like to either tell a potential buyer what needs to be replaced or replace it myself before selling. Roland VS-540 Print Test Results.jpeg

How old is the ink?
If you have seriously overaged ink, I'd start replacing it.
Depending on how old and what type the ink was, I'd flush the ink lines.(otherwise all the gunk accumulates in the damper/head filter) If it's been neglected for a while, a captop, wiper and felt would make sense.
