PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make a medium pressing member for inhibiting lifting of a medium less likely to be deformed.SOLUTION: A printer includes: a medium support part 32 which supports a medium M transported in a transport direction Y; a head 15 which performs printing on the medium M in a printing area E; a medium pressing member 19 which is attached to the medium support part 32 and formed by laminating multiple materials; and a platen heater 42 which heats the medium pressing member 19. The medium pressing member 19 has: a base part 20 attached to the medium support part 32; and an eaves part 28 which forms a gap with the medium support part 32 and inhibits lifting of the medium M from the medium support part 32. The base part 20 has: a first material 21 forming a first surface 21a attached to the medium support part 32; and a second material 22 forming a second surface 22a opposite to the first surface 21a. A thermal expansion coefficient of the first material 21 is larger than a thermal expansion coefficient of the second material 22.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 5 【課題】媒体の浮き上がりを抑制する媒体押さえ部材を変形しにくくすること。【解決手段】搬送方向Ｙに搬送される媒体Ｍを支持する媒体支持部３２と、印刷領域Ｅにおいて、媒体Ｍに印刷するヘッド１５と、媒体支持部３２に取付けられ、複数の材料が積層された媒体押さえ部材１９と、媒体押さえ部材１９を加熱するプラテンヒーター４２と、を含み、媒体押さえ部材１９は、媒体支持部３２に取付けられる基部２０と、媒体支持部３２との間で隙間を形成し、媒体Ｍの媒体支持部３２からの浮き上がりを抑制する庇部２８とを有し、基部２０は、媒体支持部３２に取付けられる第１面２１ａを形成する第１材料２１と、第１面２１ａと反対側の第２面２２ａを形成する第２材料２２とを有し、第１材料２１の熱膨張率は、第２材料２２の熱膨張率よりも大きいことを特徴とする。【選択図】図５
