Abstract
An ink jet printer includes: ink jet heads that discharge aqueous ink droplets onto a printing surface of a printing medium that is transported in a predetermined direction; a vapor supply unit that is provided at a downstream side of the ink jet head in a direction in which the printing medium is transported and supplies vapor to a surface of the printing medium opposite the printing surface of the printing medium having the liquid droplets discharged from the ink jet heads in a non-contact manner; and a vapor electrostatic deposition unit that deposits the vapor supplied from the vapor supply unit to the surface of the printing medium opposite the printing surface of the printing medium using electrostatic force.
