Abstract
An ink jet printer includes a medium supporter to support a print medium. A print head is configured to eject ink droplets toward the print medium. An ultraviolet light irradiation device is configured to irradiate the print medium with ultraviolet light to cure ink deposited on the print medium. On a carriage, the print head and the ultraviolet light irradiation device are mounted to face the medium supporter. The carriage is reciprocally movable relative to the print medium in a first direction and movable relative to the print medium in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. The ultraviolet light irradiation device is arranged on a side in the first direction of the print head. The print head is arranged to project toward an upstream side of a feeding direction in the second direction by a predetermined length relative to the ultraviolet light irradiation device.
