PRINT HEAD SERVICING UNITS AND METHODS

摘要

A print head servicing unit comprises a cassette which is removably insertable in a hard copy apparatus and comprises some or all of a moveable web of absorbent colour material for receiving waste ink from the print head; a storage compartment for accommodating received waste ink; a cap for the print head; and a filter for filtering air-borne particles in the region of the print head. The path of the web through the cassette is such that a region thereof for receiving spat ink from the print head is arranged downstream of a region thereof for wiping ink from the print head.
