发明名称 INKJET PRINTER
摘要 In an inkjet printer, from one side of a main scanning direction, first through fourth ultraviolet irradiation devices arrayed in the main scanning direction at least partially overlap first and second recording heads. A distance in the main scanning direction between a middle position in the main scanning direction of the first recording head and a middle position in the main scanning direction of the first ultraviolet irradiation device is equal to a distance in the main scanning direction between the middle position of the first recording head and a middle position in the main scanning direction of the second ultraviolet irradiation device. A distance in the main scanning direction between a middle position in the main scanning direction of the second recording head and a middle position in the main scanning direction of the third ultraviolet irradiation device is equal to a distance in the main scanning direction between the middle position of the second recording head and a middle position in the main scanning direction of the fourth ultraviolet irradiation device.

主权项 1. An inkjet printer, comprising: a guide rail extending in a main scanning direction; a first recording head slidably in engagement with the guide rail, the first recording head injecting ultraviolet-curable ink toward a recording medium at least either while moving in a forward direction from one side to the other side of the main scanning direction or while moving in a backward direction from the other side to the one side of the main scanning direction; a second recording head provided on the one side or the other side of the main scanning direction with respect to the first recording head and slidably in engagement with the guide rail, the second recording head injecting ultraviolet-curable ink toward the recording medium at least either while moving in the forward direction or while moving in the backward direction; a first ultraviolet irradiation device provided on the other side of the main scanning direction with respect to the first recording head, the first ultraviolet irradiation device irradiating the ultraviolet-curable ink injected onto the recording medium with ultraviolet rays; a second ultraviolet irradiation device provided on the one side of the main scanning direction with respect to the first recording head, the second ultraviolet irradiation device irradiating the ultraviolet-curable ink injected onto the recording medium with ultraviolet rays; a third ultraviolet irradiation device provided on the other side of the main scanning direction with respect to the second recording head, the third ultraviolet irradiation device irradiating the ultraviolet-curable ink injected onto the recording medium with ultraviolet rays; and a fourth ultraviolet irradiation device provided on the one side of the main scanning direction with respect to the second recording head, the fourth ultraviolet irradiation device irradiating the ultraviolet-curable ink injected onto the recording medium with ultraviolet rays; wherein the first recording head includes a first nozzle line, a second nozzle line, a third nozzle line and a fourth nozzle line each including a plurality of nozzles arrayed in a sub scanning direction perpendicular to the main scanning direction; the first nozzle line and the second nozzle line inject first ink; the third nozzle line and the fourth nozzle line inject second ink; as seen from the one side of the main scanning direction, each of the first ultraviolet irradiation device, the second ultraviolet irradiation device, the third ultraviolet irradiation device and the fourth ultraviolet irradiation device at least partially overlaps the first recording head and the second recording head; a distance in the main scanning direction between a middle position in the main scanning direction of the first recording head and a middle position in the main scanning direction of the first ultraviolet irradiation device is equal or substantially equal to a distance in the main scanning direction between the middle position in the main scanning direction of the first recording head and a middle position in the main scanning direction of the second ultraviolet irradiation device; a distance in the main scanning direction between a middle position in the main scanning direction of the second recording head and a middle position in the main scanning direction of the third ultraviolet irradiation device is equal or substantially equal to a distance in the main scanning direction between the middle position in the main scanning direction of the second recording head and a middle position in the main scanning direction of the fourth ultraviolet irradiation device; the first nozzle line and the third nozzle line are located on the one side of the main scanning direction with respect to the middle position in the main scanning direction of the first recording head; the second nozzle line and the fourth nozzle line are located on the other side of the main scanning direction with respect to the middle position in the main scanning direction of the first recording head; a distance in the main scanning direction between the middle position in the main scanning direction of the first recording head and the first nozzle line is equal or substantially equal to a distance in the main scanning direction between the middle position in the main scanning direction of the first recording head and the second nozzle line; and a distance in the main scanning direction between the middle position in the main scanning direction of the first recording head and the third nozzle line is equal or substantially equal to a distance in the main scanning direction between the middle position in the main scanning direction of the first recording head and the fourth nozzle line.
