Abstract

There is provided a printing apparatus including a print head that has a color nozzle row for applying ink to a roll paper and a working liquid nozzle row, a main scanning unit that relatively moves the print head with respect to the roll paper in the main scanning direction (X-axis direction), a sub-scanning unit that relatively moves the roll paper in the sub-scanning direction (Y-axis direction) intersecting the main scanning direction (X-axis direction) with respect to the print head, and a control device that controls a relative position between a use area of the nozzle included in the color nozzle row in the sub-scanning direction (Y-axis direction) and a use area of the nozzle included in a working liquid nozzle row, based on the attribute information of the roll paper.
