Abstract:
To suppress the risk of ink bleeding and thereby attain an improved printing quality, a printing apparatus is provided that carries out an inkjet printing operation for a medium. The printing apparatus includes inkjet heads that eject droplets of ink using inkjet technique; and ultraviolet light sources that radiate ultraviolet light. The ink ejected from the inkjet heads contains an ultraviolet absorbent that absorbs ultraviolet light, and a solvent that dissolves or disperses the ultraviolet absorbent. The ejected ink is adherable to the medium and fixable by evaporating the solvent. The ultraviolet light sources irradiate the ink adhered to the medium with ultraviolet light so as to volatilize and remove at least part of the solvent from the ink.

Claim (Index 14):
A printing method for carrying out a printing operation for a medium by an inkjet scheme, the printing method comprising:\n using an inkjet head that ejects a droplet of an ink by the inkjet scheme; and using an ultraviolet light source that radiates an ultraviolet light, wherein the ink comprising an ultraviolet absorbent that absorbs the ultraviolet light, and a solvent that dissolves or disperses the ultraviolet absorbent, the ink ejected from the inkjet head being adherable to the medium and fixable by evaporating the solvent, the ultraviolet light source irradiating the ink adhered to the medium with the ultraviolet light so as to volatilize and remove at least part of the solvent from the ink.
