Zusammenfassung:A unitary wiper for a printhead on a print cartridge in an ink-jet printer is disclosed. The wiper is made of an elastomeric material and includes a base mounted in the ink-jet printer, a beam having a pair of approximately opposed substantially planar surfaces each of which terminates in a first wiping edge at a first end of the beam and at the base at a second end of the beam, and a slot formed on the beam, and extending along the second end from a third end of the beam to a fourth end of the beam. The first end is a plane surface and the beam further has at the plane surface a second wiping edge opposed to the first wiping edge.
