To provide a printer in which an ink discharge condition of a printer head can easily be checked so as to improve work efficiency. Including either a platen or a flat bed, and a printer head 22; the printer is configured in such a way as to print by making a combination of a reciprocating motion of the printer head and an operation of discharging ink toward a white medium 'WM.' Meanwhile, the printer head includes a plurality of heads 22K, 22M, 22Y, 22C, and 22W, individually corresponding to each color. The printer includes a control unit for setting a test pattern for testing each color, and pattern print areas 51 through 55 where the test pattern is printed. The control unit makes a setting in such a way that, for the pattern print area 51 where a test pattern is printed by discharging white ink of a nearly-identical color as a color of the white medium 'WM', the test pattern is printed with the white ink on a primer print prepared with black ink, |
