Abstract (en)
Provided is a printer that includes a print head, to which a carrier stopper which is low-cost and excellent in antiwear property is attached. A carrier stopper (3) is provided on a print head (1) such that the carrier stopper (3) is at a position closer to a print sheet (P) than a ribbon mask (2) is. When the print head (1) moves in a direction toward a platen that supports the print sheet (P), the carrier stopper (3) is pressed onto the print sheet (P). As a result, the position of the print sheet (P) and the interval between the print head (1) and the print sheet (P) are detected. The base of the carrier stopper (3) is made of an aluminum material, and a diamond-like carbon (DLC) film is formed on at least a surface of the carrier stopper (3) that contacts the print sheet (P).
