A wiper assembly is used to mount large size wiper blades for use in industrial inkjet printers. <??>In order to provide an even wiping action over the length of the printhead the wiper is sideways clamped in a rigid wiper blade holder. <??>Preferably the wiper blade holder clamps the wiper over 20% of the wiper height. <??>The assembly allows for use of individual wipers having different characteristics. Separate wipers are more easily fabricated and can be replaced easily. <??>The wipers may be provided with a heel which enhances mounting efficiency. <??>The wiper assembly may have easy mounting means allowing for rapid exchange of the whole assembly in a printer. <IMAGE>
