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.
Many 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
