Abstract
A wiping device has a wiping section that relatively moves along the nozzle surface, and the wiping section has: a curved surface in which a bulge is continuously formed along the identification line; a guiding section disposed such that the bulge faces the nozzle surface; a gas jetting port that applies gas to the curved surface; and a gas suction port that sucks the gas ejected from the gas jetting port and guided along the curved surface, wherein, as viewed from the direction perpendicular to the nozzle surface, the identification line which is the set of upper end points on the bulge on the curved surface intersects with the edges of the nozzle surface at an oblique angle.
