Abstract:
1. An ink jet printing apparatus comprising: a print head for ejecting ink for printing; a scanning unit configured to scan the print head relative to a print medium; an obtaining unit configured to obtain information relating to a temperature of the print head in a target scan of the print head by the scanning unit; and a control unit configured to control the scanning unit so as to delay scanning of the print head by providing a delay time between a previous scan and a next scan based on the information obtained by the obtaining unit in the target scan, wherein the control unit delays scanning by providing the delay time for a determined plurality of intervals between scans after the target scan when the temperature of the print head in the target scan indicated by the information is higher than a predetermined temperature such that a first delay time for one interval of the determined plurality of intervals is shorter than a second delay time for another interval of the determined plurality of intervals later than the one interval.
