Abstract

See full text

An ink-jet cartridge for ink-jet printers includes a nozzle-cleaning mechanism built in the cartridge itself for removing residual ink and foreign matter, such as dust and dirt including paper powder, from nozzles. Since the built-in nozzle-cleaning mechanism is replaced automatically when the cartridge is replaced, and since the replacement of the cartridge generally takes place before the nozzle-cleaning mechanism deteriorates mainly due to contamination with ink, the nozzles are always kept clean and a reliable printing operation with high quality printing is insured throughout the service life of the cartridge.
