A printer is disclosed which has (a) a pagewidth printhead assembly having a pagewidth printhead and a plurality of nozzles located along the printhead for delivering ink onto print media as it is transported past the printhead, and (b) a capping mechanism associated with the printhead. The capping mechanism comprises a capping member formed from a flexible sheet-like material having a width corresponding substantially to the length of the printhead. The flexible sheet-like material is provided as a replaceable roll from which a portion of the material is in use drawn to form the capping member. Also disclosed is a printer in which, as an optional aspect, a platen is positioned adjacent the printhead and arranged to engage with and position the capping member in nozzle capping engagement with the printhead.
