Abstract:
A printing apparatus performing printing by an inkjet scheme includes: an inkjet head; and a controller, configured to control the operation of a main scan driver and a sub scan driver to perform a main scanning operation multiple times on each position on a medium. In the main scanning operation, for at least part of ejection positions serving as ejection targets of ink droplets in the main scanning operation, the controller causes the inkjet head to eject an ink droplet in accordance with a mask for selecting part of the at least part of ejection positions.

Claim (Index 7):
The printing apparatus according to  claim 3 , wherein\n for a plurality of pixels arranged in a row at the print resolution, when a spacing between pixels adjacent in the main scanning direction is a main-scanning-direction print pixel spacing, and a spacing between pixels adjacent in the sub scanning direction is a sub-scanning-direction print pixel spacing, the ejection cycle-corresponding spacing is N times the main-scanning-direction print pixel spacing, where N is an integer equal to or greater than one, and the nozzle spacing is M times the sub-scanning-direction print pixel spacing, where M is an integer equal to or greater than one, at least one of N and M is an integer equal to or greater than two, and the controller uses N\u00d7M kinds of masks having patterns different from each other and causes the inkjet head to eject an ink droplet, in accordance with any one of the N\u00d7M kinds of masks, to the ejection position specified by the mask, in the main scanning operation each time.
