Abstract
An ink-jet printer, including a density detector and a controller, wherein, where successive three ejecting operations to be repeatedly performed on the same predetermined region of a recording medium are defined as first through third ejecting operations in the order of performance, the controller executes: a process for detecting a color density of the predetermined region immediately after attachment of the ink ejected in the second ejecting operation; a process for calculating, based on the detected color density, an estimated density after fixation of the ink ejected in the second ejecting operation; a process for calculating, based on print data, an ideal density after fixation of the ink ejected in the second ejecting operation; and a process for correcting the print data based on a difference between the estimated density and the ideal density, and wherein the ink-jet printer performs the third ejecting operation based on the corrected print data.
