Abstract

The present invention provides a wiper structure capable of reducing parts costs as well as uniformly cleaning away. The wiper structure includes a spatula-shaped ink absorption/holding body (7) causing the capillary phenomenon and having on its one surface an absorption-reduced wall (7a ) having reduced ink absorption ability.
