ABSTRACT:
In order to avoid the ink drying up in the nozzle apertures of the print head (80) of an ink printer (1) during lengthy pauses in printing and to prevent the nozzle apertures from becoming dirty, the printer (1) described has a cleaning and sealing station (6). Designed as an independent unit, the cleaning and sealing station (6) is located in the overshoot region (OV) of the print head carriage (7). The fact that the carriage (7) no longer requires a separate service and parking position, enables the width of the printer (1) to be reduced.
