When black ink ejected through the ejection openings of the corresponding ejection opening array of the printing head reacts with the other color inks ejected through the ejection openings of the color ejection opening arrays, then during wiping, the respective ejection opening arrays or the group of ejection opening arrays and the vicinities thereof are wiped using two blades corresponding to the black and other color ejection opening arrays, respectively, and each forming a predetermined angle with respect to a direction orthogonal to a wiping direction. Thus, each wiped-away ink or the like is collected in the portion between the black ejection opening array and the color ejection opening arrays so as to leave the corresponding ejection opening array, and is then wiped by the blades.
