Abstract:
An inkjet printer injects first ink of a plurality of colors and second ink. An extraction condition setter sets an extraction condition to extract a portion of, or an entirety of, ink dots of the first ink of each of the plurality of colors. An extractor extracts an underlying layer dot group from ink dots of the first ink of each of the plurality of colors based on the extraction condition. Such a plurality of underlying layer dot groups and ink dots of the second ink form a first printing layer. An image dot group including at least the ink dots, of the first ink, other than the underlying dot groups forms at least one additional printing layer.

Claim (Index 12):
The inkjet printer according to  claim 1 , wherein:\n the at least one additional printing controller includes a second printing controller; the additional printing layer includes a second printing layer; the image dot group includes a first image dot group including at least the ink dots, of the first ink of the first color, other than the first underlying layer dot group and a second image dot group including at least the ink dots, of the first ink of the second color, other than the second underlying layer dot group; the moving mechanism includes a feeding mechanism to feed the recording medium; the first color ink head, the second color ink head and the second ink ink head are located side by side in a scanning direction perpendicular to a feeding direction in which the recording medium is fed; the first color ink head includes:\n a first color upstream nozzle array including a portion of the plurality of nozzles arrayed in the feeding direction; and \n a first color downstream nozzle array including another portion of the plurality of nozzles arrayed in the feeding direction, the first color downstream nozzle array being located downstream with respect to the first color upstream nozzle array in the feeding direction; \n the second color ink head includes:\n a second color upstream nozzle array including a portion of the plurality of nozzles arrayed in the feeding direction; and \n a second color downstream nozzle array including another portion of the plurality of nozzles arrayed in the feeding direction, the second color downstream nozzle array being located downstream with respect to the second color upstream nozzle array in the feeding direction; \n the second ink ink head includes:\n a second ink upstream nozzle array including a portion of the plurality of nozzles arrayed in the feeding direction; and \n a second ink downstream nozzle array including another portion of the plurality of nozzles arrayed in the feeding direction, the second ink downstream nozzle array being located downstream with respect to the second ink upstream nozzle array in the feeding direction; \n in a case where the first printing layer is to be formed below the second printing layer, the first printing controller causes the nozzles of the first color upstream nozzle array to inject the first ink of the first color to form the first underlying layer dot group, causes the nozzles of the second color upstream nozzle array to inject the first ink of the second color to form the second underlying layer dot group, and causes the nozzles of the second ink upstream nozzle array to inject the second ink, to form the first printing layer; and \n in a case where the first printing layer is to be formed above the second printing layer, the first printing controller causes the nozzles of the first color downstream nozzle array to inject the first ink of the first color to form the first underlying layer dot group, causes the nozzles of the second color downstream nozzle array to inject the first ink of the second color to form the second underlying layer dot group, and causes the nozzles of the second ink downstream nozzle array to inject the second ink, to form the first printing layer; and \n in the case where the first printing layer is to be formed below the second printing layer, the second printing controller causes the nozzles of the first color downstream nozzle array to inject the first ink of the first color to form the first image dot group, and causes the nozzles of the second color downstream nozzle array to inject the first ink of the second color to form the second image dot group, to form the second printing layer; and \n in the case where the first printing layer is to be formed above the second printing layer, the second printing controller causes the nozzles of the first color upstream nozzle array to inject the first ink of the first color to form the first image dot group, and causes the nozzles of the second color upstream nozzle array to inject the first ink of the second color to form the second image dot group, to form the second printing layer.
