Abstract

See full text

A wiper device allows a liquid ejecting head that ejects a dispersion liquid in which solid particles are dispersed in a liquid from nozzles and a wiping member to move relative to each other so as to wipe the dispersion liquid that adheres to a nozzle formation surface using the wiping member. The wiping member includes a first layer positioned on the nozzle formation surface side, and a second layer positioned on the opposite side to the nozzle formation surface with respect to the first layer. The first layer guides liquid droplets which are dispersion media of the dispersion liquid that adheres to the nozzle formation surface to the second layer through a capillary action and has voids that are able to capture and accommodate a dispersoid of the dispersion liquid. The second layer absorbs the dispersion media.
