Abstract
An inkjet printing apparatus includes a printhead including a temperature sensor and an element array formed by arraying a plurality of heat generation elements each of which generates a thermal energy required to discharge an ink in response to application of a driving pulse, a specifying unit configured to specify a portion used in printing of the element array, and a selection unit configured to select a driving pulse to be applied to the respective heat generation elements based on the portion specified by the specifying unit and a temperature of the printhead measured by the temperature sensor.
