Abstract
An ink-jet printer includes a print head for printing a plurality of dots as an image by ejecting ink onto a paper sheet while the paper sheet is moving in a predetermined direction, and a print control section which stores a plurality of dot data assigned to the plurality of dots to designate tones thereof and which drives the print head according to the plurality of dot data. The print control section includes a correction section for correcting a tone of a target dot on the basis of a tone designated by dot data assigned to a dot adjacent to the target dot in the predetermined direction, in a manner so as to compensate for an ink flow due to inertia of semi-dried ink against movement of the paper sheet.
