Abstract:
1. A printing method comprising: (A) performing correction of an ink ejection amount for a certain area based on a correction value for a first type row region, the certain area including a plurality of the first type row regions adjacent to each other in a transport direction of a medium, the first type row region being a region in which a dot row is formed in a movement direction that intersects the transport direction by performing a predetermined number of times a movement-and-ejection operation in which ink is ejected from a nozzle while the nozzle is moved in the movement direction; and (B) performing correction of an ink ejection amount for another area located on the downstream side in the transport direction from the certain area, based on another correction value obtained by increasing a degree of the correction based on the correction value for the first type row region as a distance from the certain area decreases, the other area including a plurality of second type row regions and a plurality of the first type row regions in the transport direction, the second type row region being a region in which a dot row is formed in the movement direction by performing the movement-and-ejection operation another predetermined number of times that is more than the predetermined number of times, a ratio of the second type row regions decreasing as the distance from the certain area decreases.
