A printing mechanism includes a print module having a printhead, and includes a wiper assembly having a wiper to clean the printhead of ink residue when the wiper and the printhead are in contact and move relative to each other in a first direction. The wiper and the printhead also move relative to each other in a second direction to release a contact tension between the wiper and the printhead. The first direction and the second direction define an arc path that the wiper and/or printhead moves along to controllably release the wiper contact tension to prevent ink residue on the wiper from being deposited in a location that will impair or degrade a desired print quality.
