ABSTRACT:
A printer head cleaning system for cleaning a printer head, such as a video inkjet printer head reduces exposure of personnel to hazardous solvent vapors by containing and evacuating evaporated cleaning solvent vapors. The printer head cleaning system includes a printer head drying fixture configured to receive a printer head in an interior of the fixture and a vapor capture device for drawing air through the fixture and past the printer head to evaporate and evacuate vapors of the cleaning solution from the printer head. The fixture includes a first end, a second end, a port for receiving the printer head, and a fluid path within the interior of the fixture from the first end to the second end which passes around the printer head when the printer head is received in the fixture.
