Abstract:
To dry ink using a more appropriate method in a case of performing printing using an ink-jet printer of a line system and the like. A printing device that performs printing using an ink-jet system includes: a conveyance driving unit as a conveyance module that conveys a medium; ink-jet heads; and an ultraviolet ray irradiation unit as an energy irradiation module. A length of the ink-jet heads in a width direction of the medium is larger than a width of a region to be printed. Ink ejected from the ink-jet heads is ink that contains an energy ray absorber and a solvent, the ink being fixed to the medium by evaporating the solvent. The ultraviolet ray irradiation unit irradiates the ink adhering onto the medium with ultraviolet rays to volatilize and remove at least part of the solvent contained in the ink.

Claim (Index 9):
The printing device according to  claim 8 , wherein the energy irradiation module irradiates the ink on the medium with the energy rays to increase viscosity of the ink to be in a state in which bleeding does not occur even when the ink on the medium is brought into contact with ink of another color, and flattening of dots of the ink proceeds on the medium during a period in which the medium moves to a position of the downstream-side heater after the energy rays are applied.
