Abstract:
1. A printing apparatus, comprising: a head which discharges an imaging liquid for forming an image, and a supplementary liquid for supplementing formation of the image with the imaging liquid onto a printing medium; and a control unit which controls the head to execute a first operation, in which the imaging liquid is discharged onto a first region of the printing medium, and a second operation, in which the supplementary liquid is discharged onto a region of the printing medium onto which the imaging liquid is not discharged, wherein the control unit controls the head such that a discharge amount of the supplementary liquid on a second region, which is a region onto which the imaging liquid is not discharged and is adjacent to the first region, is less than the discharge amount of the supplementary liquid on a third region, which is a region onto which the imaging liquid is not discharged and is not adjacent to the first region.
