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 8):
The printer according to  claim 2 , wherein the print head has a nozzle surface in which the plurality of nozzles is formed, the nozzle surface including a first region in which a first nozzle of the plurality of nozzles is formed and a second region in which a second nozzle of the plurality of nozzles is formed, the second nozzle being positioned downstream from the first nozzle in the conveying direction,\n wherein the print executing unit further includes:\n a holding unit opposing the first region and configured to hold the sheet; and \n an un-holding unit opposing the second region and separated farther from the nozzle-surface than the holding unit from the nozzle-surface, \n wherein the KA number of active nozzles used in the (A)-print process include the first nozzle and the second nozzle, wherein the KB number of active nozzles used in the (B)-print process exclude the first nozzle and include the second nozzle, and wherein KC increases while the most-upstream nozzle is sequentially moved upstream as a number of the pass process that has been executed in the (C)-print process increases.
