Figure 3-4 shows a close-up of one of the damaged areas of the cap/
wipe/purge blade used on the printhead shown in Figure 3-3. The
edge of the blade is pushed inward and flattened which prevents a
good wiping action. In most cases you will not be able to see the
damage to the blade, however, you will see its affect on the printhead
faceplate as streaks or smudges of ink in the nozzle area.

Figure 3-5 shows a close-up of the left side of a printhead. Here the
cap/wipe/purge blade has separated allowing the metal spring to rub
the faceplate and damage the printhead.
