More Information
Summary:An inkjet printer for jetting ink of the optimal viscosity for image-recording during recording operation. The inkjet printer includes: a temperature sensor for detecting a temperature of the ink in a recording head; a heater for heating the ink in the recording head by generating heat; and a control unit for controlling the heater based on a result detected by the temperature sensor. In the control unit, a set value for defining a heating temperature of the heater is stored, and first factors including movement speed of a carriage and the number of times of movement of a carriage, and a first correction value corresponding to the first factors are stored as a first data table. The control unit specifies the first correction value from image information, corrects the set value based on the first correction value, and controls the heater for generating heat according to the corrected set value.
