• a liquid remaining amount grasping unit which grasps remaining amounts of the respective at least two kinds of liquids;
• and
• a control unit which performs control of operations of printings onto the plurality of printed textile materials,
• wherein, in the case where the control unit is given an instruction for executing printings onto a plurality of printed textile materials, which are set on the set tray so as to substantially align in the direction along the movement of the set tray, on the basis of two or more kinds of printing specifications including at least a first printing specification using the first liquid and a second printing specification using the second liquid, the control unit has a control mode for, in advance of starting the execution of printings, specifying any print-executable printing specification from among the printing specifications on the basis of the remaining amounts of the respective liquids and the contents of the respective printing specifications, and then, starting execution of any printing based on the any print-executable printing specification having been specified.
