A printer assembly providing quick and effective wiping of print heads. The printer assembly includes a carriage for holding a print head and having a slide contact, a slide having a wiper ramp, a carriage contact contactable by the slide contact of the carriage, and a wiper assembly including a base, a post extending from the base, a wiper arm, a wiper latch, a wiper holder, and a wiper blade, wherein the wiper arm is connected to the base such that the wiper arm is raised in a case that the wiper arm ramp moves laterally relative to and while in contact with the wiper arm, the wiper latch is connected to the wiper arm such that the wiper latch latches onto the post extending from the base in a case that the wiper arm is sufficiently raised, the wiper holder is connected to the wiper arm, and the wiper blade is connected to the wiper holder.

It is an object of this invention to provide a color filter manufacturing method which can manufacture a color filter without decreasing the yield even if the nozzle surfaces of ink-jet heads are repeatedly wiped. In order to achieve this object, there is provided a color filter manufacturing method of manufacturing a color filter by discharging ink from an ink-jet head onto a color filter substrate to form colored areas in units of colors, which extend in a predetermined direction. The ink-jet head has an orifice surface in which orifices for discharging ink are formed and a water-repellent member covering at least peripheral portions of the orifices. This method includes the step of preparing a wiping member for wiping the orifice surface, and the step of wiping the orifice surface with the wiping member. The wiping direction of the wiping member coincides with the predetermined direction.
