Abstract:
1. A printing apparatus comprising: a transport unit configured to transport a medium in a transport direction; a first head configured to eject black ink onto the medium; a first light source which is provided further to a downstream side in the transport direction than the first head, the first light source being configured to irradiate a first light; a second head which is provided further to the downstream side in the transport direction than the first head and the first light source, the second head being configured to eject yellow ink onto the medium; a second light source which is provided further to the downstream side in the transport direction than the second head and which is configured to irradiate a second light with a stronger irradiation energy than the irradiation energy of the first light source; a third light source which is provided further to an upstream side in the transport direction than the first head; and a third head which is provided further to the upstream side in the transport direction than the third light source, the third head being configured to eject the magenta ink or the cyan ink onto the medium, the first light source and the second light source having the same type of light source, an irradiation intensity of the second light irradiated by the second light source being equal to an irradiation intensity of the first light irradiated by the first light source while an irradiation time when the second light source irradiates the second light is longer than an irradiation time when the first light source irradiates the first light.
