ABSTRACT:
A printing apparatus having an ink-jet head which discharges an ink toward a medium, a UV light source, a movement mechanism which moves the medium, and a controller. When the printing mode is selected, the controller controls the ink-jet head to discharge the ink toward the medium, and the controller controls the UV light source to radiate a small amount of the ultraviolet light to cure the ink. When the erasing mode is selected, the controller controls the UV light source to radiate a large amount of the ultraviolet light toward the medium to decolorize the ink. Accordingly, the medium, on which the printing has been once performed, can be reused quickly and reliably. Further, the printing can be performed on a variety of media.
