Which type of wiper is better.
I was going to change the wipers on my VP-540. The ones on there are the White silicone type and are slightly split. I ordered some in a maintenance kit and they are just plain Black rubber. I know the ones I originally had were Felt on one side, I can’t seem to find that sort, so which is better ? And are those Black ones any good ?

To be honest i only recall every using the ivory/white ones. have you tried digi-print supplies?

Genuine ones are rubber one side and felt on the other. Anything else is non genuine. I would recommend genuine ones at about £11 each (from memory). The felt side helps absorb the excess ink taken from the head. The non genuine ones prefer to flick that ink around make a mess.

Yes these were from Digiprint. Where can I get the genuine ones apart from Roland.

Have you tried PrintMax?

Granthams are a good bunch but any reputable Roland parts dealer will help. Digiprint do also sell genuine ones too.
-
Yes dont buy the cheaper Digiprint ones because they are thicker and can end up damaging the head, i always buy the genuine ones from Digiprint or Josero which are felt one side and a lot thinner

Thanks for that, I will get a couple of the genuine ones.
