Abstract (en)
[origin: EP3170666A1] Provided is an inkjet printer, which limits reduction in work efficiency without deterioration of formed image quality. The inkjet printer is equipped with: a conveyor unit for conveying a print medium (P) on a conveyor surface in the conveyance direction; an ink-discharging section for discharging ink from nozzle openings on a nozzle surface that faces the conveyor surface; a vertical motion unit for changing the distance of the ink-discharging section from the conveyor surface; a measurement section (113) for measuring the floating distance of the print medium at a measurement position at a prescribed separation distance (L1) on the up-stream side of the ink-discharging section in the conveyance direction; a vertical motion control section for causing, when the floating distance reaches at least a first distance (H1) and after a prescribed period from the floating detection timing has elapsed, the ver - tical motion unit to perform, on the basis of the separation distance and the print medium conveyance speed, a retracting motion of moving the ink-discharging section to a position (H3) where the nozzle surface does not contact the floating portion while said floating portion is conveyed into a range that faces the ink-discharging section; and a discharge control section for continuing ink discharge until the retracting motion start timing.
