Abstract:
An inkjet printer includes a print controller and a print mode setter. The print controller causes one or a plurality of print layers to be printed on a recording medium. The one or the plurality of print layers may include one or both of a special color ink layer and a process color ink layer. The special color ink layer includes ink dots of a special color ink, and the process color ink layer includes ink dots of the process color ink. The print mode setter is programmed and/or configured to be able to set a multi-layer print mode in which three or more layers including both of the special color ink layer and the process color ink layer are printed.

Claim (Index 3):
The inkjet printer according to  claim 2 , further comprising:\n a sub-scanning-direction transfer device that transfers the recording medium in the sub-scanning direction relative to the first ink head and the second ink head, wherein the first ink head and the second ink head are arranged side by side along a main scanning direction orthogonal or substantially orthogonal to the sub-scanning direction; the first ink head includes two or more special color nozzle arrays arrayed from upstream towards downstream along the sub-scanning direction, each special color nozzle array including an equal number of the first nozzles; the second ink head includes one or more process color nozzle arrays disposed more downstream with respect to the sub-scanning direction than the special color nozzle arrays and arrayed from upstream towards downstream along the sub-scanning direction, each of the one or more process color nozzle arrays including an equal number of the second nozzles as the number of the first nozzles of each of the special color nozzle arrays; and in the first print mode, the print controller is configured or programmed to control the first nozzles of the special color nozzle arrays to consecutively eject the special color ink while controlling the sub-scanning-direction transfer device to transfer the recording medium intermittently towards downstream along the sub-scanning direction so as to consecutively print the special color ink layer on the recording medium, and thereafter controls the second nozzles of the one or more process color nozzle arrays to consecutively eject the process color ink so as to consecutively print the process color ink layer over the recording medium while controlling the sub-scanning-direction transfer device to transfer the recording medium intermittently toward downstream along the sub-scanning direction.
