There are provided a plain paper mode in which printing is performed on a plain paper and a special medium mode in which printing is performed on a special printing medium having a coat layer formed thereon. In the plain paper mode, Bk ink using both self-dispersing type pigment and dye as coloring materials is ejected from a Bk head, then a processing liquid with a high penetrability which insolubilizes the above coloring materials is ejected from a S head. On the other hand, in the special medium mode, the above Bk ink is ejected from the Bk head, but no processing liquid is ejected from the S head. As a result, this enables the improvement in a print quality, such as OD level, and a high-speed fixing in ink-jet printing in either case where a printing medium having a coat layer formed thereon is used or where the plain paper is used.
