Replacement Printhead for Epson DX5 Water-Based-Compatible Printers

Epson DX5 Water-Based Printhead Cap Top

This water-based cap top is designed for Epson DX5 5th-generation printhead maintenance systems that need reliable sealing, moisture retention, and stable suction during cleaning cycles.

Compatible Printheads

• Epson DX5 5th-generation water-based printheads
• Compatible wide-format printer systems using DX5 water-based head assemblies

Installed Position

• Mounted on the capping station directly under the printhead parking position
• Used during standby, cleaning, and suction cycles to seal and protect the nozzle face

What This Part Does

• Creates a tight seal around the printhead face during parking
• Helps prevent nozzle drying during idle periods
• Supports stable suction during cleaning cycles
• Helps extend printhead life when replaced at the right maintenance interval

Material & Construction

• ABS engineering plastic structure
• Precision-fit rubber sealing ring
• Integrated sponge pad for ink absorption
• Drainage channels designed for controlled waste ink flow

When To Replace

• Replace when the cap no longer seals tightly against the printhead
• Inspect when cleaning suction becomes weak or nozzles dry out after parking
• Replace when the rubber lip hardens, the sponge becomes saturated, or the cap body distorts

Fitment Checklist

• Confirm DX5 water-based configuration before order
• Check cap shape, mounting position, and hose layout against the reference assembly
• Confirm whether the machine uses water-based or modified eco-solvent maintenance parts

Service Pairing Suggestions

• Many buyers inspect the wiper, pump, and damper condition at the same time when cap-top performance becomes weak
• Replacing the cap top on time helps protect the printhead more effectively than waiting for visible nozzle loss

Package Includes: 1 × Epson DX5 water-based cap top.
