Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A printing apparatus that includes a head unit in which a plurality of heads are disposed so that parts of nozzle rows overlap with each other between the heads and a control unit configured to make the head unit execute a specified operation for forming flushing dots other than image formation dots on a print medium by discharging liquid through the nozzles. The control unit makes the head unit execute the specified operation in which a liquid amount discharged in the specified operation per nozzle that does not belong to an overlap area where parts of the nozzle rows overlap with each other between the heads is larger in a set movement distance thereof than a liquid amount discharged in the specified operation per nozzle that belongs to the overlap area in a set movement distance thereof, if a specified condition for execution of the specified operation is satisfied.
