Abstract
Provided is an inkjet printer with an unwinding portion and an adjacent winding portion in an uneven arrangement, which enables easy replacement of a web-shaped print base material on an unwinding portion and a winding portion for the web-shaped print base material at the time of printing on the web-shaped print base material with an aqueous ink, is capable of dealing with small-lot and wide-variety printing, and enables further space saving as compared to related arts. The inkjet printer includes: an unwinding portion for a web-shaped print base material; a single-pass inkjet head portion configured to discharge an aqueous ink to a surface of the web-shaped print base material unwound by a single-pass method; and an adjacent winding portion, which is provided adjacent to the unwinding portion, and is configured to wind the web-shaped print base material, wherein the unwinding portion and the adjacent winding portion are both installed side by side in an uneven arrangement on any one of an upstream side and a downstream side of the single-pass inkjet head portion.
