Abstract
In a method for independently wiping a first and a second printhead of an inkjet printing device, a first and a second wiping assembly separated from each other are provided in the printing device. When the first wiping assembly wipes the first printhead, the second wiping assembly is separated from the second printhead so that the second wiping assembly does not simultaneously wipe the second printhead. When the second wiping assembly wipes the second printhead, however, the first wiping assembly is separated from the first printhead so that the first wiping assembly does not simultaneously wipe the first printhead.
