Abstract:
There is provided a printing apparatus including: an ink jet head that prints on a print medium; a camera that captures an image on the print medium; an LED light source that irradiates a capturing area of the camera with light at a predetermined angle with respect to a print surface of the print medium; a carriage that mounts the ink jet head, the camera, and the LED light source; and a processor that executes calculation based on captured-image-data-of-unprinted-area obtained by capturing an image on the print medium by the camera and captured-image-data-of-test-pattern obtained by capturing an image of a test pattern by the camera, the test pattern being printed on the print medium by the ink jet head, and that acquires corrected captured-image-data representing a captured image of the test pattern, the corrected captured-image-data in which an influence of light irradiation by the LED light source is adjusted.

Claim (Index 8):
A control method of a printing apparatus configured to include a carriage, the carriage mounting a print head which prints on a print medium, a camera which captures an image on the print medium, and a light source which irradiates a capturing area of the camera with light at a predetermined angle with respect to a print surface of the print medium, the method comprising:\n generating third captured image data which represents a captured image of a test pattern and in which brightness unevenness is adjusted, based on first captured image data obtained by capturing the image on the print medium by the camera and second captured image data obtained by capturing an image of the test pattern by the camera, the test pattern being printed on the print medium by the print head.
