An inkjet printer having: a recording head provided with an ink nozzle for
ejecting ink to a recording medium, the ink being cured by exposure to
ultraviolet rays; an ultraviolet irradiation apparatus for applying
ultraviolet rays to the ink ejected on the recording medium; and a light
trap arranged between the recording head and the ultraviolet irradiation
apparatus to prevent the recording head from being exposed to reflected
ultraviolet rays emitted from the ultraviolet irradiation apparatus,
wherein the light trap has an inorganic ultraviolet ray absorbent coated
layer arranged on an ultraviolet ray receiving surface.
