Abstract:
The ultraviolet ray irradiation devices are attached to a carriage having a print head that ejects the ultraviolet curable ink, and include a plurality of ultraviolet light sources that irradiate ultraviolet rays onto ink coating ejected on a print sheet by the print head. An ultraviolet ray of the ultraviolet light source that irradiates the ultraviolet ray onto the print sheet in the vicinity of the print head has a wavelength shorter than an ultraviolet ray of the ultraviolet light source that irradiates the ultraviolet ray onto the print sheet apart from the vicinity of the print head along the moving direction of the carriage. The ultraviolet ray irradiation device is capable of sufficiently curing a plurality of ultraviolet curable ink adhered on a recording medium without incurring a problem of blurring or color mixing for a multiple-color printing process such as a full-color printing process.
