Abstract
There is provided a print medium-conveying device and an inkjet printing device that can convey a print medium without causing wrinkles, float and damage. In an embodiment, the front surface of paper passed to an image recording drum is pressed by a pressure roller, and is made to contact the peripheral surface of the image recording drum. The front surface of paper is sucked by a suction unit in a position immediately before it enters between the image recording drum and the pressure roller, and back tension is given. The back tension giving is turned on/off according to the thickness of the paper, and the back tension giving is turned off for paper whose thickness is equal to or greater than a threshold. It is possible to prevent paper with stiffness from strongly contacting an adsorption holding surface of the suction unit and the front surface from being damaged.
