[0002] An inkjet printer is a product of a large printer series. It does not have the high clarity of a printer or a photo printer. However, the newly launched inkjet printers have greatly improved clarity. Inkjet printers use solvent-based or UV-curable inks. Among them, solvent-based inks have a strong smell and corrosiveness. During the printing process, the ink penetrates into the interior of the printing material through corrosion, making the image not easy to fade. Therefore, it has the characteristics of waterproof, anti-ultraviolet, and scratch-resistant.

[0003] In the prior art, the cleaning effect of the nozzle is not good, and it is impossible to effectively remove the oil stain on the nozzle, which affects the processing quality of the inkjet printer for products. In view of the above problems, the document with the application number: 202222784091.5 discloses an inkjet printer nozzle moisturizing device, which includes an inkjet printer main body. A control panel is arranged on the left side of the inkjet printer main body. A drain hole is opened on the left side of the inkjet printer main body and below the control panel. A plurality of groups of nozzles are arranged at the top end inside the inkjet printer main body. A collection box is arranged inside the inkjet printer main body. A filter plate is arranged between the inkjet printer main body and the collection box. A cleaning mechanism is arranged on the top of the filter plate; the cleaning mechanism includes a plurality of groups of rotating cylinders. Rotating cylinders are arranged at the positions corresponding to the nozzles on the top of the cleaning mechanism. The rotating cylinders are connected with lifting rods through lifting sleeves.
