Abstract
An inkjet printer capable of improving uniformity of the quality of an image printed on a recording medium is provided and includes: a table formed with a support surface that supports a recording medium; an inkjet head formed with a nozzle that ejects ink; a Y-bar that supports the inkjet head to be movable in a main scanning direction; two lifting mechanisms capable of changing a Y-bar tilt serving as a tilt of the Y-bar with respect to the support surface; a head gap sensor that detects a head gap, which is a distance from the recording medium to the nozzle of the inkjet head; and a tilt adjustment portion that adjusts the Y-bar tilt by the two lifting mechanisms to a tilt that reduces variations of the head gaps detected by the head gap sensor at each of multiple positions in the main scanning direction.
