An inspector inspects the plurality of nozzles based on the image of the test pattern corrected by the corrector.
[Problem] To provide an inkjet printer capable of minimizing wear of an absorber or a wiper due to removal of wiper ink, and preventing harmful effects caused by resultant wear debris. [Solution] As a wiper 8 in a standby position is lifted by a lifting/lowering mechanism 6, an upper surface of the wiper 8 is brought into contact with an absorber 32 disposed over the standby position, and wiper ink attached to the upper surface of the wiper 8 is absorbed by the absorber 32. As a result, the wiper ink is removed. During this time, the wiper 8 and the absorber 32 do not rub against each other, thus minimizing wear of the wiper 8 and the absorber 32.
