Patent ID: 10960680

Abstract:
A printing device includes an ink container, an ink in the ink container, the ink containing an aqueous clear ink and an aqueous color ink and a heating device configured to heat a substrate, wherein the relationship is satisfied, |SCL−SC|≤5 mN/m, where SCL represents the surface tension of the aqueous clear ink and SC represents the surface tension of the aqueous color ink, wherein the printing device has a low gloss printing and a high gloss printing mode, wherein the heating device heats the substrate while satisfying the relationship: Tlow>Thigh, where Tlow represents the temperature of the substrate in a low gloss printing region in which the aqueous clear ink is printed in the low printing mode and Thigh represents the temperature of the substrate in a high gloss printing region in which the aqueous clear ink is printed in the high printing mode.
