Abstract: A capping device for an ink jet print head, includes a base, the base configured to receive an ink jet print head comprising nozzles for ejecting ink in a print direction, and a cap assembly attached to the base and configured for movement between a closed position when the print head is not printing and an open position to allow for the ejection of ink from the nozzles when the print head is printing. The cap assembly includes a cover support configured for generally planar movement with respect to the base in a direction perpendicular to the print direction and a cover attached to the cover support in a generally planar relationship thereto. The cover is adapted to provide additional movement with respect to the cover support in a direction different from the planar movement in the direction perpendicular to the print direction.
