UNCLASSIFIED Wayne, We have the VCP-3001 cassette printer and we buy the printer ribbon from Leica (800-225-3035). The stock number is V0590001F and it cost us $83.35 per ribbon which we bought several years ago. I don't know if it is the same one for your VCP-2001 but I'm sure when you call them, they can help you.
