Abstract:
A printer performs a multi-pass printing including: (a) pass process executed with Ka number of nozzles; (c1) pass process executed with Kc1 number of nozzles; (c2) pass process executed with Kc2 number of nozzles; and (b) pass process executed with Kb number of nozzles. Kc1 and Kc2 are greater than or equal to Kb and smaller than Ka. An upstream gradient of dot recording rates of (c1) pass process is greater than a gradient of (a) pass process. A downstream gradient of (c1) pass process is the same as the gradient of (a) pass process. An upstream gradient of (c2)-pass process is the same as a gradient of (b) pass process. A downstream gradient of (c2)-pass process is greater than the gradient of the (a) pass process. Kc1 is greater than Kc2.

Claim (Index 3):
The printer according to  claim 2 , wherein the conveying mechanism includes:\n an upstream holding unit configured to hold the sheet at a position upstream from the print head in the conveying direction; and a downstream holding unit configured to hold the sheet at a position downstream from the print head in the conveying direction, wherein the sheet is held by the upstream holding unit and the downstream holding unit in the (A)-print process, and wherein the sheet is held by the upstream holding unit and is not held by the downstream holding unit in the (B)-print process.
