Abstract

A print device includes a head, a recovery portion, a processor, and a memory. The head is configured to eject a first ink for base printing and a second ink for image printing. The first ink is ejected onto a print medium and the second ink is ejected on the base printing to print image printing. The recovery portion is configured to perform recovery processing. The recovery processing recovers an ejection performance of the first ink of the head. The memory stores computer-readable instructions. When the computer-readable instructions are executed by the processor, the processor acquires an integrated value of an ejection amount of the first ink. And the processor also determines, based on the acquired integrated value, whether to perform the recovery processing by the recovery portion.
