Patent ID: 8157341

Claim:
A printing method comprising the following steps of: preparing a printing apparatus that includes an element that is driven in order to eject ink, a first drive signal generation section that generates first drive signals for driving the element, and a second drive signal generation section that generates second drive signals for driving the element, the element being selectively driven by the first and second drive signals; when the first drive signal generation section is caused to generate a first drive signal for forming a first dot of a first predetermined size and the second drive signal generation section is caused to generate a second drive signal for forming a second dot of a second predetermined size that is different from the first predetermined size, correcting an amount of the ink that is ejected according to the first drive signal based on a first correction value that is associated with the first drive signal generation section; and when the second drive signal generation section is caused to generate the first drive signal, correcting an amount of the ink that is ejected according to the first drive signal based on a second correction value that is associated with the second drive signal generation section.
