Abstract
An inkjet printer capable of suppressing a reduction in adsorption power relative to media as compared to the related art is provided. The inkjet printer includes a medium adsorbing device that has a medium adsorbing unit for adsorbing a medium, and an inkjet head that faces a portion of the medium adsorbing unit with a medium interposed therebetween. The medium adsorbing unit has a plurality of suction holes for sucking gas in order to adsorb a medium on an adsorption surface positioned on a side of the inkjet head. The medium adsorbing unit has a printing section and a downstream side adjacent section on a side of the adsorption surface. In the printing section, printing is performed on each medium by the inkjet head.

An inkjet printer, comprising:
- a medium adsorbing device that includes a medium adsorbing unit which adsorbs a medium;
- an inkjet head which faces a portion of the medium adsorbing unit with the medium interposed therebetween and performs printing on the medium with ink;
- and
- a medium conveying device that conveys the medium with respect to the medium adsorbing unit,
- wherein the medium adsorbing unit has an adsorption surface which adsorbs the medium,
- the medium adsorbing unit has a printing section and a downstream side adjacent section on a side of the adsorption surface,
- in the printing section, printing is performed on the medium by the inkjet head,
- the downstream side adjacent section is on a downstream side from the printing section in a medium conveyance direction of the medium conveying device and is adjacent to the printing section, and
- in the medium adsorbing device, adsorption power in the downstream side adjacent section is equal to or lower than adsorption power in the printing section.
