An apparatus (1) includes a recording head (2) having a sealing portion arranged in proximity to nozzle arrays and protruding beyond a nozzle surface. A wiper means (10) configured to wipe the nozzle surface of the recording head (2) has a first wiper blade and a second wiper blade, and the first wiper blade is arranged to be inclined by an angle ¸1 (¸1 > 0) with respect to a direction orthogonal to the wiping direction within a plane parallel to the nozzle surface, while the second wiper blade is arranged to be inclined by an angle ¸2 (¸2 < 0) with respect to the direction orthogonal to the wiping direction within the plane. |
