Abstract:
A printing apparatus comprises: a printing unit that performs printing and prints an inspection pattern including a first patch and a second patch different in color or having the same color and different in density so as to extend in the first direction respectively on the printing medium by the plurality of orifices wherein the first patch and the second patch are arranged in the second direction; a scanning unit that includes a plurality of detection elements arranged in the second direction, performs scan in the first direction and, scanning the inspection pattern on the printing medium; and wherein the scanning unit scans the first patch by using a first detection element of the plurality of detection elements and scans the second patch by using a second detection element which is another element of the plurality of detection elements respectively.

Claim (Index 12):
The method according to  claim 11 , wherein a difference between a density indicated by a scanning output value obtained when the first patch is scanned by the first detection element and a density indicated by a scanning output value obtained when the first patch is scanned by the second detection element is larger than a difference between a density indicated by a scanning output value obtained when the second patch is scanned by the first detection element and a density indicated by a scanning output value obtained when the second patch is scanned by the second detection element.
