Mounted in the head maintenance station, the wiper sweeps the DX6 nozzle plate after every cleaning cycle to clear ink residue, dust and lint before the head returns to the cap.

This keeps the nozzle face clean so the cap can seal properly and so dried ink is not dragged back across the nozzles on the next pass. A worn, hardened or nicked wiper edge stops making full contact with the nozzle plate — ink residue builds up, cleaning cycles become less effective, and you start to see streaks, missing nozzles and ink drips on the media even though the printhead itself is healthy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-top: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; font-size: 14px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOEM vs Compatible — Why Genuine Roland Matters for the Wiper\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 12px;\"\u003eThe wiper blade is the one maintenance part that physically touches the DX6 nozzle plate on every cleaning cycle. The genuine Roland 1000006517 is moulded to the correct height, edge profile and rubber hardness for the DX6 head — soft enough not to scratch the nozzle plate coating, firm enough to clear eco-solvent ink. Generic wipers that are slightly too tall, too hard, or that swell in Eco-Sol MAX ink can scuff the nozzle plate or leave a film of ink behind, and a damaged nozzle plate means a printhead replacement costing far more than the wiper.
