PRINTING DEVICE AND PRINTING METHOD

摘要

The aim is to form by ink-jet technique an overcoat layer using an ink consisting of more suitable ingredients. To this end, the present invention provides a printing device (10) for performing printing by ink-jet technique, including: a color ink head (12) being an inkjet head that forms a color ink layer (102) on a medium (50) using a color ink; an overcoat head (14) being an inkjet head that forms an overcoat layer (104) that covers the color ink layer (102); and a curing agent head (16) being an inkjet head that discharges ink droplets of a curing agent, the curing agent being a liquid for curing an ink in the overcoat layer (104), wherein the clear ink head (14) discharges ink droplets of an ink prepared by dispersing in an organic solvent a curable material that is cured in reaction to the curing agent.
