A first cutter (130) (cutting unit) is arranged between a color recording unit (120) (first printing unit) and a overcoat recording unit (140) (second printing unit). In a sheet of recording paper (200) (printing medium), a portion where color printing by the color recording unit (120) is complete is cut off by the first cutter (130). The cut off recording paper (printing medium piece) is subjected to overcoat processing by the overcoat recording unit (140). Simultaneously with this, the color recording unit (120) performs next color printing on the recording paper (200). This shortens the time required for printing without degrading the printing quality in the printing device having a plurality of printing steps. Moreover, by optimally arranging the color recording unit (120), the first cutter (130), the overcoat recording unit (140), the second cutter (160), and the like, it is possible to eliminate unnecessary paper feed.
