Abstract
There is provided a printing method using a first motor that applies a driving force for rotating a roll body around which a printing medium is wound, a second motor that applies a driving force for intermittently driving a transport driving roller that transports the printing medium, and a print head that intermittently ejects ink onto the printing medium alternately with the driving of the second motor. The printing method includes driving the first motor such that tension applied to the printing medium is constant during at least a part of a period in which the second motor is driven and stopping the driving of the first motor during at least a part of a period in which the driving of the second motor is stopped.
