    摘要: The invention is an apparatus and method for periodically applying a hydrophobic coating layer to a face of an ink jet printing head to prevent droplets of ink from clogging nozzles of the printing head. An ink jet printer embodying the invention includes a hydrophobic material applicator that moves relative to the printing head to deposit hydrophobic material on the face of the ink jet printing head. The applicator may be a wiper blade or cylinder made from a hydrophobic material or embedded with a hydrophobic material, wherein the applicator contacts the face of the printing head during relative movement to transfer hydrophobic material to the printing head. The applicator may also be a spray head that sprays hydrophobic material onto the face of the printing head during relative movement.
