Abstract

An inkjet printer includes a platen having a placing face, a printing device, and a printing medium feeding device. A guide is provided on a feeding-out side via which a printing medium is to be fed out from the platen. The guide has a guide face. A printing medium temperature raising device is to heat the guide face so as to raise a temperature of the printing medium placed on the guide face. A temperature raising preventing device is provided between the guide face of the guide and a portion of the placing face facing a printing target region. The temperature raising preventing device is configured to prevent an extended portion of the printing medium from being heated by the printing medium temperature raising device. The extended portion corresponds an area which is extended to the feeding-out side by a predetermined length from the printing target region.
