Abstract
A first cutter(cutting unit) is provided between a color recording unit(the first printing unit) and an overcoat recording unit(the second printing unit). A portion whereon color printing is completed by the color recording unitof a recording paper(printing medium) is cut off by the first cutterand detached. An overcoat recording unitperforms an overcoat process on the detached recording paper (printing medium strip). In parallel with this, the color recording unitperforms next color printing on the recording paper. This makes it possible to reduce a printing time in a printing device including a plurality of printing processes without deteriorating printing quality. Further, an useless paper feeding is eliminated by optimally arranging the color recording unit, the first cutter, the overcoat recording unit, and the second cutter, etc. in accordance with a size of a printing area.
