To make it possible to easily provide printed matter with varying degrees of gloss, a printing device includes a head for ejecting a photo-curing ink to a medium, a photo-irradiation device for radiating light to the photo-curing ink ejected on the medium and curing the photo-curing ink, and a controller for causing an ejection and curing operation to be performed for ejecting the photo-curing ink and subsequently radiating the light to cure the photo-curing ink, the controller being configured so that when an image having a first degree of gloss is formed, the image is formed by a first number of ejection and curing operations, and when an image having a second degree of gloss lower than the first degree of gloss is formed, the image is formed by a second number of ejection and curing operations greater than the first number.
