Roland VS640 top cap

[graphix45]

Where's the best place to purchase a top cap or capping station for a Roland VS640? I checked Rolands website but did not find it there. I have found several listed from $69 up to $139 but most come from China. Just a little hesitate about ordering from there. One of the places in the US had it for $139, but the description and pictures are identical to one I found from China for $69. It makes me believe they're ordering it from China and doubling the price. I'm not trying to be cheap, but if it's the same part why pay twice as much.

We just get ours from eBay. Last purchase was a pair of them from here:
2pcs Cap Capping Top Capping Unit For Mimaki DX5 JV33/JV5/CJV30

You'll likely find cheaper prices looking for a Mimaki JV33 or JV5 cap top than a Roland one, even though they are identical.
We replace these far more frequently than Roland suggests, as we can't seem to get 6 months out of one when the printer is configured for white/metallic.

Thanks for the info. How long does it normally take for shipping?

Around 2 weeks to Australia. I'd wager the same to the USA.

We have them in stock and ship same day. Cap top. The link is to the Mimaki DX5 side of our site but it is the same for the Roland DX7.

Give our Tech support a call, we have them for much less than 139. 855-S1-TECHS. Glenn from Nazdar SourceOne
