Abstract: A printer includes a first controller to cause a primer discharge head to discharge, from its nozzle, primer onto a recording medium and then cause a first ultraviolet light applicator to apply ultraviolet light to the primer, thus forming a first primer layer on the recording medium; a second controller to cause the primer discharge head to discharge, from its nozzle, the primer onto the first primer layer and the recording medium and then cause a second ultraviolet light applicator to apply ultraviolet light to the primer, thus forming a second primer layer on the first primer layer and the recording medium; and a third controller to cause an ink discharge head to discharge, from its nozzle, image-forming ink onto the second primer layer and then cause the first ultraviolet light applicator to apply ultraviolet light to the image-forming ink, thus forming an ink layer on the second primer layer.
