Abstract
Marginless printing is performed by using a printhead which ejects ink. Information on an inclination of a sheet to be conveyed is obtained, and in performing the marginless printing at a leading end of the sheet, an image region with respect to which ink is discarded to an outside of the sheet is set based on the obtained information. Further, a platen which supports the sheet by sucking in a manner facing the printhead which ejects the ink is provided and control is performed such that in performing printing sequentially from the leading end to a trailing end of the sheet, suction force of the platen is decreased upon approach of a portion to be printed to the trailing end of the sheet.
