Disclosed is an inkjet printer configured so that the surface temperature of a printing medium can be adjusted to the optimum temperature for ink adherence. The inkjet printer comprises a carriage that has a print head (60) that discharges ink; a carriage-moving mechanism (50) that moves the carriage relatively along the surface to be printed of the printing medium that is supported by a platen; a print heater (70) that heats the platen to adjust the heat of the printing medium; a non-contact temperature sensor (80) that is attached to the carriage opposite the surface to be printed and that, along with the relative motion due to the carriage, detects the surface temperature of the printing medium along the direction of the abovementioned relative motion; and a temperature control unit (106) of a control unit (100) and an SSR (90) that perform adjustment control of the surface temperature of the printing medium to a predetermined set temperature by means of driving the print heater (70) on the basis of the detected temperature from the non-contact temperature sensor (80). |
