摘要:This invention concerns a printhead capping mechanism for preventingevaporation of ink from a printhead when it is not in use. The invention has utility, forinstance, in a color printer which uses a drop-on-demand inkjet printhead. The mechanism
includes a cap fitted with an elastomeric seal to seal against the face of the printhead,and a sponge to catch drops ejected from the printhead during the nozzle cleaning cycle.The mechanism also includes an actuating structure operable to selectively move the capbetween an engaged position to press against the printhead and a disengaged positionspaced away from the printhead.
