Abstract:
An inkjet printer ejects a first ink of a plurality of colors and a second ink. An extractor extracts an underlying layer dot group from ink dots of the first ink of each of the plurality of colors. Such 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. The underlying dot groups are each extracted from the ink dots of the first ink of the corresponding color based on a predetermined extraction ratio.

Claim (Index 13):
The inkjet printer according to  claim 1 , wherein\n the at least one additional printing controller is configured or programmed to include a second printing controller; the at least one additional printing layer includes a second printing layer; the transporter includes a feeder feeding the recording medium; the first color ink head, the second color ink head, and the second ink ink head are disposed side by side in a scanning direction perpendicular or substantially 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 the first printing controller:\n when the first printing layer is to be printed below the second printing layer, causes the nozzles of the first color upstream nozzle array to eject the first ink of the first color of the first underlying layer dot group, causes the nozzles of the second color upstream nozzle array to eject the first ink of the second color of the second underlying layer dot group, and causes the nozzles of the second ink upstream nozzle array to eject the second ink, to print the first printing layer; and \n when the first printing layer is to be printed above the second printing layer, causes the nozzles of the first color downstream nozzle array to eject the first ink of the first color of the first underlying layer dot group, causes the nozzles of the second color downstream nozzle array to eject the first ink of the second color of the second underlying layer dot group, and causes the nozzles of the second ink downstream nozzle array to eject the second ink, to print the first printing layer; and \n the second printing controller:\n when the first printing layer is to be printed below the second printing layer, causes the nozzles of the first color downstream nozzle array to eject the first ink of the first color, and causes the nozzles of the second color downstream nozzle array to eject the first ink of the second color, to print the second printing layer; and \n when the first printing layer is to be printed above the second printing layer, causes the nozzles of the first color upstream nozzle array to eject the first ink of the first color, and causes the nozzles of the second color upstream nozzle array to eject the first ink of the second color, to print the second printing layer.
