Abstract
A printing apparatus includes a first roller that nips and conveys, in a conveyance direction, a printing medium, a second roller that nips and conveys the printing medium at a downstream side of the first roller in the conveyance direction, a print unit that prints an image on the printing medium conveyed by the second roller, and a control unit that, until printing by the print unit reaches a vicinity of a trailing end of a print length, sets a nip pressure of the first roller to a first pressure, and when printing by the print unit reaches the vicinity of the trailing end of the print length, sets the nip pressure of the first roller to a second pressure that is higher than the first pressure.
