<p>A printer includes a print unit which prints an image on a recording medium by adhering recording material based on image data; a storage unit which stores a value corresponding to a reference recording material density; a reference density acquisition unit which acquires from the image data a reference recording material density of an area within the image; a specifying unit which specifies a value corresponding to the acquired reference recording material density by referring to the storage unit; a detection unit which detects a recording material density in the area of the printed image; a determination unit which determines whether the detected recording material density in the area is within a range determined based on the specified value; and a controller which indicates a print failure and/or stops printing if the determination unit determines that the detected recording material density detected is outside of the range.</p> |
