ABSTRACT:
An image forming apparatus having a hybrid inkjet head and an inkjet head wiping device includes an array type inkjet head, the first guide part, a carrier, a shuttle type inkjet head, a paper delivery unit, a controller, and a wiping device. The array type inkjet head prints an image onto a printing medium at a stationary state and has the first nozzle unit. The first guide part is spaced apart from the array type inkjet head to dace the array type inkjet head, and the carrier is movably coupled with the first guide part and reciprocates in a width direction of the printing medium. The shuttle type inkjet head has the second nozzle unit and the paper-delivery unit delivers the printing medium to the inkjet heads. The controller controls operations of the inkjet heads and the paper-delivery unit, and the wiping device contacts a surface of the first nozzle unit to wipe out residual ink from the first nozzle unit.
