It is an object of this invention to provide a color filter manufacturing method which can manufacture a color filter without decreasing the yield even if the nozzle surfaces of ink-jet heads are repeatedly wiped. In order to achieve this object, there is provided a color filter manufacturing method of manufacturing a color filter by discharging ink from an ink-jet head onto a color filter substrate to form colored areas in units of colors, which extend in a predetermined direction. The ink-jet head has an orifice surface in which orifices for discharging ink are formed and a water-repellent member covering at least peripheral portions of the orifices. This method includes the step of preparing a wiping member for wiping the orifice surface, and the step of wiping the orifice surface with the wiping member. The wiping direction of the wiping member coincides with the predetermined direction.
