PCT No. PCT/JP97/00590 Sec. 371 Date Oct. 29, 1997 Sec. 102(e) Date Oct. 29, 1997 PCT Filed Feb. 27, 1997 PCT Pub. No. WO97/31780 PCT Pub. Date Sep. 4, 1997A printer head cleaning device for ink jet printers, having a case body with a receiving portion for receiving a printer head, and a sucking portion for carrying out suction of ink from the printer head. The receiving portion comprises a contact portion in contact with the injection or jet nozzle of the printer head. The sucking portion comprises a supply portion for applying negative pressure to the contact portion. When negative pressure is applied to the receiving portion, suction of ink existing within the injection or jet nozzle is carried out. Because a water-holding member is provided, drying of the injection or jet nozzle is prevented. The cleaning device also can select suction operation and can control the continuous suction operation and strength of the suction force, thereby making it possible to carry out cleaning of the printer head.
