Abstract: A medium placement device is configured to stack a plurality of sheets of a medium discharged from a discharge unit of a processing device. The medium placement device includes a plurality of support units being provided in a width direction intersecting with a discharge direction of the medium discharged from the discharge unit, and being configured to support the medium at a support surface from below in a gravitational direction. A first support unit and a second support unit are provided in an alternating manner in the width direction, the second support unit being arranged at a position lower than the first support unit in the gravitational direction when viewed in the width direction. The first support unit is provided with a bridging member configured to couple a lower side of the discharge unit in the gravitational direction and the support surface of the first support unit.

Abstract: When an image is printed by inkjet printing on a print surface of a target medium, an overcoat layer is formed in a more appropriate manner. A printing method uses color ink heads 202 as exemplified colored ink heads, a clear ink head 204, and ultraviolet irradiators 206. The printing method includes a color printing step of printing a print image using a colored ink in at least a partial region on a print surface of a medium 50, a non-colored region clear printing step of applying a UV clear ink for printing in a region at least including a non-colored region in which ink droplets are not discharged in the color printing step, and an overcoat layer forming step of forming an overcoat layer that covers the print image using the UV clear ink in a region covering at least the print image printed in the color printing step.
