Zusammenfassung:	A bristled scraper cleaning system for cleaning a scraper, which has removed ink residue from wipers following an inkjet printhead wiping routine where the residue was first removed from the printhead in an inkjet printing mechanism, has a reservoir filled with an ink solvent. A pair of bristle brushes are soaked in the ink solvent bath, then rotated to scrub ink residue from the scraper. Following this scrubbing routine, the scrapers are now ready for a fresh scraping routine, and the brushes are returned to the solvent bath to dissolve ink residue from the bristles. A method of cleaning an inkjet printhead, along with an inkjet printing mechanism having such a bristled scraper cleaning system, are also provided.
