Abstract:
In an embodiment of this invention, a technique that implements satisfactory image formation by locating a place where the condition of a transfer member is poor and restricting image formation for the place. More specifically, the following control is performed by a printing apparatus that includes a transfer member which rotates, a printhead configured to form an image on the transfer member, and a transfer unit which transfers, to a print medium, the image formed on the transfer member. That is, a surface condition of the transfer member is detected, and image formation by the printhead for a region determined that the surface condition is poor is restricted.

Claim (Index 10):
The apparatus according to  claim 6 , wherein based on a tolerable print duty of the surface condition of the transfer member detected by the detection unit, the restriction unit changes a density value of image data used for image formation, and performs image formation for the region determined that the surface condition of the transfer member is poor, the region being divided in the axial direction of the rotating shaft.
