Copicat Spare Parts

Amp-Fix offers a Copicat spares service to help you keep your machine in good working order and cosmetic condition. It has now become uneconomical for us to process and post low value single items.
Regretfully from the 1st April 2022 there will be a minimum order charge of £10 plus postage.
We like to help but are neither a professional full time parts organisation or a charity.
