Function: They are used to gently wipe the nozzle plate (the flat surface where the ink jets out) to remove ink residue, dried ink, dust, and debris that can cause clogging and banding in prints.
Material: The foam is specifically formulated to be lint-free and non-abrasive to avoid scratching the delicate printhead surface. It is compatible with both water-based and solvent-based inks.
Design: They typically have a pointed or wedge shape, allowing you to reach the nozzle plate effectively.
