[Problem] To be able to remove ink efficiently from a substrate, suppress substrate contamination, and also improve productivity in a patterning device. [Solution] A patterning device (1) is provided with a wipe-off mechanism (4) that eliminates ink (30) in prescribed locations on a substrate (20). This wipe-off mechanism (4) has tape (41) made to contain a solvent (40), a rotating reel (42) that winds the tape (41), and a tape head (43) that makes the tape (41) come into contact on the substrate (20). The tape (41) is made to come into contact with the substrate (20) by the tape head (43), and the ink (30) on the substrate (20) is made to adhere to the tape (41). When the ink (30) is wiped off by the tape (41) according to this constitution, the wiping surface of the tape (41) is always a new surface; therefore the ink (30) is eliminated efficiently and the tape (41) is not easily degraded. In addition, scrapings do not easily arise even with use over a long period of time; therefore, contamination of the substrate (20) can be suppressed, and productivity is improved. |
