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 2):
The printing apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein\n when a resolution of a row of dots of ink formable by the inkjet head on the medium in the main scanning operation once is a main-scanning resolution, the controller causes the inkjet head to perform printing by a multi-pass scheme to perform printing at a print resolution higher than the main-scanning resolution, when the main scanning operation is performed to eject an ink droplet to a first ejection position on the medium, the controller causes the inkjet head to eject an ink droplet in accordance with the first mask, and when the main scanning operation is performed to eject an ink droplet to a second ejection position on the medium spaced apart from the first ejection position by a distance smaller than an inter-dot distance at the main-scanning resolution, the controller causes the inkjet head to eject an ink droplet in accordance with the second mask.
