<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To control the photo-curing of a liquid in a nozzle by a simple configuration. <P>SOLUTION: A print head 40 that discharges UV curable ink from a nozzle 41 is inclined at a predetermined tilt angle toward a recording surface of a recording sheet P so that a nozzle surface (nozzle plate 44) faces opposite to a UV curing unit 50. Thereby, the UV ray discharged from the UV curing unit 50 and reflected on the recording sheet P can hardly be incident on the nozzle plate 44. Thus the ink in the nozzle 41 is prevented from photo-thickening or photo-curing. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
