Abstract
A method and system for a cap gimbal for a maintenance station of an ink jet printer with a first and second printhead each with a nozzle face that ejects ink. The cap gimbaling system allows a movable base which supports the maintenance caps to move in unison with the printheads and effectively seal the nozzle face.
