Patent ID: 8328347

Claim:
A printing apparatus including: a head that ejects droplets of electromagnetic-wave-curable ink onto a medium; an irradiation section that irradiates electromagnetic waves on the ink which is ejected onto the medium by the head to provisionally cure the ink; and a controller that controls the irradiation section so as to cause the irradiation section to perform an irradiating operation that irradiates electromagnetic waves to the ink on the medium, wherein in the case where the medium is a first medium, the controller causes the irradiation section to perform the irradiating operation to deliver a first irradiation amount to the ink on the first medium, and then to deliver a second irradiation amount to the ink on the first medium, is the second irradiation amount being smaller than the first irradiation amount, wherein in the case where that the medium is a second medium, the controller causes the irradiation section to perform the irradiating operation to deliver a third irradiation amount to the ink on the second medium, and then to deliver a fourth irradiation amount to the ink on the medium, is the fourth irradiation amount being larger than the third irradiation amount, and wherein the droplets ejected on the first medium spread farther than the droplets ejected on the second medium.
