    摘要: An ink-jet printer is provided. The ink-jet printer includes: an ink container containing an ink, where the ink being a clear ink containing a resin; a discharge head having a nozzle configured to discharge the ink to a printing material; a heater configured to heat the printing material; and a cleaner including a wiper configured to wipe a nozzle formation surface of the discharge head. The ink-jet printer has a matte gloss printing mode imparting a matte gloss and a glossy gloss printing mode imparting a glossy gloss, and the ink-jet printer satisfies a formula below: Tmatte>Tgloss where Tmatte represents a temperature (° C.) of the heater during printing in the matte gloss printing mode; and Tgloss represents the temperature (° C.) of the heater during printing in the glossy gloss printing mode.
