A printer includes a print carriage including an ink head, a sub-carriage movable relative to the print carriage, a mount surface where a medium is to be mounted, a dryer to dry an ink ejected from the ink head onto the medium. The sub-carriage includes a temperature sensor and is movable relative to the print carriage to measure a temperature on or above the mount surface using the temperature sensor. The dryer is adjusted such that the temperature to be measured approaches a predetermined temperature.

Printer and printing method

A foil transfer device includes a light emitter that emits light, a driver that causes scanning to be performed with the light by moving one or both of an irradiator and a substrate relative to each other, the irradiator casting the light emitted by the light emitter, and a controller that causes the light emitter to change power of the light according to a velocity indication value during at least one of an acceleration period from a time when at least one of the irradiator and the substrate begins to move to a time when a velocity thereof becomes constant and a deceleration period from a time when the velocity is constant to a time when at least one of the irradiator and the substrate stops.
