If it is fine just remember that you need to lock the heads, drain the ink, empty the waste tank and some other bits and pieces when transporting. I only know this from seeing it on other forums. I don't have an actual link but I am sure Google will be your friend here.

HI guys managed to get a test print today ..Not so sure this is good or bad ..I can see some banding on Cyan (May be due to few blocked nozzles )and print quality is not solid as my normal printers .Is this test print look okay ??... Thanks

How long has it been sitting with no ink? Run a power clean to see if it clears the banding.... do a test print via the panel and drop a picture here :)

That test print wont show much ... this is mine when I bought the VP...look ok yea!

But you can see here, at least one head is shot
