Abstract
An inkjet printer for forming, on a base, an image layer and an adhesive layer on which foil is to be formed includes a first head, a second head, and processing circuitry. The first head discharges an ink for the image layer. The second head discharges inks for the adhesive layer including a first ink and a second ink. The second ink has a lower wet spreadability than a wet spreadability of the first ink. The processing circuitry controls the second head to form an image area included in the adhesive layer with the second ink in a case where a width of the image area is less than a threshold, and form the image area with the first ink in a case where the width of the image area is not less than the threshold.
