A printing apparatus (2; 6), comprising: a discharge head (H) which is configured to discharge an ink from a nozzle (N); a feed reservoir which is configured to store the ink; a feed pipe connecting the feed reservoir and an ink supply port (Hd) of the discharge head (H); a return reservoir which is configured to store the ink; a return pipe connecting the return reservoir and an ink recovery port (He) of the discharge head (H); a reservoir communication pipe connecting the return reservoir and the feed reservoir ; an ink feeding unit which is configured to selectively perform normal circulation of supplying the ink to the discharge head (H) by circulating the ink along a circulation channel (Wc) starting from the discharge head (H) and returning to the discharge head (H) and low-speed circulation of circulating the ink along the circulation channel (Wc) at a flow rate lower than that in the normal circulation, the circulation channel (Wc) being a channel in which the ink returns from the return reservoir to the feed reservoir via the reservoir communication pipe after the ink reaches the return reservoir from the feed reservoir by way of the discharge head (H); and a control unit which is configured to perform a print mode of printing an image by causing the discharge head (H) to discharge the ink from the nozzle (N) while causing the ink feeding unit to perform the normal circulation and causes the ink feeding unit to perform the low-speed circulation when the print mode is stopped, wherein the ink feeding unit is configured to generate a normal negative pressure difference between the feed reservoir and the return reservoir to perform the normal circulation and a low negative pressure difference smaller than the normal negative pressure difference between the feed reservoir and the return reservoir to perform the low-speed circulation. a discharge head (H) which is configured to discharge an ink from a nozzle (N); a feed reservoir which is configured to store the ink; a feed pipe connecting the feed reservoir and an ink supply port (Hd) of the discharge head (H); a return reservoir which is configured to store the ink; a return pipe connecting the return reservoir and an ink recovery port (He) of the discharge head (H); a reservoir communication pipe connecting the return reservoir and the feed reservoir ; an ink feeding unit which is configured to selectively perform normal circulation of supplying the ink to the discharge head (H) by circulating the ink along a circulation channel (Wc) starting from the discharge head (H) and returning to the discharge head (H) and low-speed circulation of circulating the ink along the circulation channel (Wc) at a flow rate lower than that in the normal circulation, the circulation channel (Wc) being a channel in which the ink returns from the return reservoir to the feed reservoir via the reservoir communication pipe after the ink reaches the return reservoir from the feed reservoir by way of the discharge head (H); and a control unit which is configured to perform a print mode of printing an image by causing the discharge head (H) to discharge the ink from the nozzle (N) while causing the ink feeding unit to perform the normal circulation and causes the ink feeding unit to perform the low-speed circulation when the print mode is stopped, wherein the ink feeding unit is configured to generate a normal negative pressure difference between the feed reservoir and the return reservoir to perform the normal circulation and a low negative pressure difference smaller than the normal negative pressure difference between the feed reservoir and the return reservoir to perform the low-speed circulation. <EOS>
