Abstract
An inkjet printer includes an inkjet head having multiple nozzles that eject an ultraviolet-curable ink, an ultraviolet irradiator that cures the ink, a carriage on which the inkjet head and the ultraviolet irradiator are mounted, a carriage drive mechanism that moves the carriage in a main scanning direction, and a controller that controls the ultraviolet irradiator. A part of the ultraviolet irradiator disposed at the same position as the inkjet head in a sub scanning direction is a head position ultraviolet irradiation portion. The controller makes a peak illuminance of ultraviolet with which the head position ultraviolet irradiation portion irradiates the ink when the carriage moves at a moving speed Vlower than a peak illuminance of ultraviolet with which the head position ultraviolet irradiation portion irradiates the ink when the carriage moves at a moving speed V, where the moving speed Vis lower than the moving speed V
