A roll brushing apparatus for cleaning an inkjet head including a case, a roll brush connected to the case through an axle, and a roll brush cover encompassing a portion of the roll brush. During cleaning the inkjet head, the roll brush is rotated at approximately less than 50 RPM to prevent contaminants from flying off the roll brush. After cleaning the inkjet head, the roll brush cover is moved between the roll brush and the inkjet head to prevent contaminants coming off the roll brush from contaminating the inkjet head. The rotational speed of the brush is also increased to more than 50 RPM to remove contaminants on the roll brush. A solvent may also be sprayed onto the roll brush to aid in contaminant removal after cleaning the inkjet head.
