PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a following type printer in which a print head can follow bending, waviness or distortion of a sheet material of a steel or the like. SOLUTION: In this following type printer, by relatively moving the sheet material 5 in its longitudinal direction against the print head 10, characters and marks are printed on the side face of the sheet material 5. This printer includes a clamping mechanism 7 for clamping the sheet material 5 and the print head 10 moving up and down with the clamping mechanism 7. The clamping mechanism 7 clamps the sheet material 5 by an upper arm 11 having an upper face contacting part 11a which can come into contact with the upper face of the sheet material and a lower arm 12 having a lower face contacting part 12a which can come into contact with the lower face of the sheet material 5, and moves up and down by accompanying the displacement in the up and down direction of the sheet material 5 relatively moving in the longitudinal direction under a condition that the sheet material 5 is clamped.
