    Abstract: A printer includes a printing head, a nail information detection unit, an outline comparison determination unit, and a display unit. The printing head prints on a print target. The nail information detection unit detects a base outline that is a base outline in an area including the print target and a non-print target adjacent to the print target. The outline comparison determination unit compares a print outline that is an outline of an area to be printed on the print target with the base outline, and determines whether or not there is a difference equal to or larger than a set value. The display unit reports, as a reporting unit, to a user that the difference determined by the outline comparison determination unit is equal to or larger than the set value.
