PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a cleaning member sustaining wiping effect even when the wiping operation is repeated a large number of times, and to prevent deterioration of the surface at an ejection opening and resulting degradation of a recording image. SOLUTION: Since a wiper blade 512, as a cleaning member, contains antistatic agent, surface at the ejection opening of a recording head is not charged by wiping and aggregation or adhesion is reduced in the vicinity of the ejection opening. Consequently, water repellency is sustained on the surface of the ejection opening and ejection troubles are reduced. COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO&NCIPI
