Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2008014534A1] A method of removing particulates from an ink ejection face of a printhead is provided. The method comprises the steps of: (a) providing a liquid foam on the face, thereby dispersing the particulates in the foam; and (b) transferring the foam, including the particulates, onto a transfer surface moving past the face. Ink consumption is minimized by use of a foam and damage to the face is avoided since the transfer surface typically does not contact the face.
