Abstract
An inkjet printer, including a recording head having a nozzle to jet ink droplets, a control section to control jetting of the ink droplets from the nozzle of the recording head at predetermined driving conditions for jetting the ink droplets, a velocity detecting section to detect ink droplets jetting velocity from the nozzle of the recording head, a temperature detecting section to detect temperature of the recording head or ambient temperature of the recording head, a first changing section to change the driving conditions to alter the ink droplets jetting velocity to a targeted velocity based on detected results of the velocity detecting section, and a second changing section to change the driving conditions at a time differing from a time of the first changing section to alter the ink droplets jetting velocity to the targeted velocity based on the detected results of the temperature detecting section.
