Abstract:
An ink drying device dries ink injected onto a recording medium. The ink drying device includes a main body including a counter plate facing the recording medium and including an inner space, and a heat generator located in the inner space of the main body to generate heat. The counter plate is provided with a plurality of discharge holes. The ink drying device further includes a heat diffusion layer provided on an outer surface of the counter plate that faces the recording medium.

Claim (Index 9):
The ink drying device according to  claim 5 , wherein\n the heat generator includes a driving motor connected with the fan; the ink drying device further comprising:\n a temperature sensor provided on the counter plate; and \n a controller communicably connected with the driving motor, the heat source and the temperature sensor; \n the controller is configured or programmed to include:\n an initial control processor that determines whether or not a detected temperature detected by the temperature sensor is no higher than a predetermined first temperature, and when the detected temperature is lower than, or equal to, the first temperature, controls the driving motor such that a rotation rate of the fan is a predetermined first rotation rate and controls the heat source such that an amount of the heat to be generated by the heat source is a predetermined first heat amount; \n a printing control processor that, at a time of printing, controls the driving motor such that the rotation rate of the fan is a second rotation rate greater than the first rotation rate; \n a first printing finish control processor that, at a time of finish of printing, stops heat generation by the heat source; and \n a second printing finish control processor that, after the heat generation by the heat source is stopped by the first printing finish control processor, determines whether or not the detected temperature detected by the temperature sensor is no higher than a second temperature lower than the first temperature, and when the detected temperature is lower than, or equal to, the second temperature, stops the driving motor to stop the fan.
