Abstract
In example implementations, an apparatus includes a planar surface, a curved mounting surface and a wiper blade. The curved mounting surface may be coupled adjacent to the planar surface. The wiper blade may be clamped to the planar surface. A bottom of the wiper blade can rest on the curved mounting surface such that a free length of the wiper blade is different at a plurality of points along a width of the wiper blade.

An apparatus, comprising:
- a planar surface;
- a curved mounting surface coupled adjacent to the planar surface;
- and
- a wiper blade clamped to the planar surface, wherein a bottom of the wiper blade rests on the curved mounting surface such that a free length of the wiper blade is different at a plurality of points along a width of the wiper blade.

An apparatus, comprising:
- a non-planar surface;
- a curved mounting surface coupled adjacent to the non-planar surface;
- and
- a wiper blade clamped to the non-planar surface, wherein the non-planar surface adjusts an amount of deflection and a free length along a width of the wiper blade, wherein a bottom of the wiper blade rests on the curved mounting surface such that the free length of the wiper blade is different at a plurality of points along the width of the wiper blade.

A binary ink developer (BID) section, comprising:
- a developer roller;
- a cleaner roller to clean excess printing fluid off of the developer roller;
- a wiper blade to clean the cleaner roller;
- a wiper blade holder comprising a curved mounting surface, wherein the wiper blade is clamped on the curved mounting surface of the wiper blade holder, wherein the curved mounting surface adjusts the wiper blade to provide a uniform angle of attack along a width of the cleaner roller.
