Abstract:
1. A printing control apparatus configured to use a recording head where a plurality of nozzles are arranged in a row formation with a predetermined pitch, and configured to perform interlace printing on an outward path and a return path such that a resolution is equal to or more than a resolution that is based on the pitch when printing is performed due to supplying of ink being received from an ink cartridge and ink droplets being discharged from each of the nozzles, the printing control apparatus comprising: a split printing control section configured to split a region that is printable in one band into a plurality of regions according to a predetermined number of splits, and configured to carry out the interlace printing in each of split regions on the outward path and the return path, the split printing control section being further configured to determine whether there is data where dots are applied in a region in a vicinity of a boundary of two of the split regions, which includes at least one of the two of the split regions that are adjacent to each other, based on printing data for each of the split regions, and configured to carry out printing by making the number of splits an odd number of times in a case where there is data where dots are applied.
