Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé d'enlèvement de particules d'une face d'éjection d'encre d'une tête d'impression. Le procédé comprend les étapes de : (a) production d'une mousse liquide sur la face, dispersant de ce fait les particules dans la mousse; et (b) transfert de la mousse, comprenant les particules, sur une surface de transfert se déplaçant devant la face. La consommation d'encre est minimisée par l'utilisation d'une mousse et un dommage sur la face est évité car la surface de transfert n'entre généralement pas en contact avec la face.
