    摘要: An image forming apparatus includes a metallic ink discharge head, a color ink discharge head, an irradiation unit, a carriage, and a moving unit. The metallic ink discharge head discharges a metallic ink onto a recording medium. The color ink discharge head discharges a color ink onto the recording medium. The irradiation unit irradiates the metallic ink with light. The metallic ink discharge head, the color ink discharge head, and the irradiation unit are mounted on the carriage. The moving unit alternately perform a main scanning movement and a sub-scanning movement. The metallic ink discharge head discharges the metallic ink in a region of the recording medium in a former main scanning movement. The irradiation unit irradiates the region with the light in a latter main scanning movement. The color ink discharge head discharges the color ink in the region irradiated with the light by the irradiation unit.

    摘要: An image forming apparatus includes a liquid discharge head, an irradiation unit, a carriage, and a moving unit. The liquid discharge head discharges a liquid onto a recording medium. The liquid includes a metallic ink and a color ink. The irradiation unit irradiates the liquid on the recording medium with light. The liquid discharge head and the irradiation unit are mounted on the carriage. The moving unit alternately perform a main scanning movement and a sub-scanning movement. The liquid discharge head discharges the metallic ink in a region of the recording medium in a former main scanning movement and discharges the color ink in the region in which the metallic ink has been discharged, in a latter main scanning movement after the former main scanning movement. The irradiation unit irradiates the region in which the color ink has been discharged with the light.

    摘要: An ejecting apparatus includes an ejection control unit configured to cause a first ejecting unit among ejecting units (301) configured to move in a main-scanning direction, to eject a liquid; an irradiating unit (400) divided into a plurality of irradiating blocks (401) in a sub-scanning direction; an irradiation control unit configured to turn off an irradiating block corresponding to the first ejecting unit. A first distance (Y) between a downstream end of the first ejecting unit in the sub-scanning direction and an upstream end of an irradiating block is larger than a second distance (C) by which the irradiating block irradiates a recording medium outside from an end of an emission surface of the irradiator block in the sub-scanning direction. The irradiation control unit is configured to cure the liquid by causing the irradiating block positioned downstream of the turned-off irradiating block corresponding to the first ejecting unit, to emit the activation energy ray.

    摘要: A printer including a first liquid discharger, a second liquid discharger, a curing unit, and a controller is provided. The first and second liquid dischargers discharge active-energy-ray-curable colored and transparent liquids, respectively. The curing unit emits an active energy ray. The controller causes the first liquid discharger to scan multiple times and discharge the colored liquid on a medium, causes the curing unit to cure the colored liquid on the medium after each scan of the first liquid discharger to print a colored image with the colored liquid on the medium, causes the second liquid discharger to discharge the transparent liquid on the colored image, causes the curing unit to cure the transparent liquid on the colored image to form a transparent layer on the colored image, and controls a thickness of the transparent layer in accordance with the number of scan of the first liquid discharger.
