Printing device and printing method

A printing method of a printing device, the printing device including

• a transport belt that has an adhesive layer that supports cloth as a medium and that transports the cloth in a transport direction in a state where a first surface of the cloth faces the adhesive layer,
• a printing section that prints an image on a second surface of the cloth transported by the transport belt, the second surface being an opposite side surface to the first surface, and
• a printing section having a first head configured to eject an image forming ink for forming the image and a second head configured to eject a capture target forming ink for forming a capture target,
• the printing method comprising:
• a capture target printing step of printing the capture target by ejecting the capture target forming ink from the second head;
• an infrared image capturing step of using infrared light to capture the capture target on the first surface of the cloth being transported by the transport belt;
• a correction step of correcting at least one of the image and a printing position of the image based on captured data that was captured in the infrared image capturing step;
• and
• a second surface printing step of printing the image on the second surface by, based on the correction result in the correction step, ejecting the image forming ink from the first head onto the cloth being transported by the transport belt.
