Abstract
The present printing apparatus includes a printing section including a thermal head and a film transfer motor for transferring a transfer film, a memory for storing printing data of different component colors and a control section for controlling the printing section. The control section adjusts the image length at the time of forming an image of each of the component colors on the transfer film by means of the thermal head and printing data of the component color according to the gradation values of the pixels of the pixel group corresponding to a line running in the main scanning direction of the thermal head and the image forming ratio representing the ratio of the number of pixels having the component color relative to the number of the pixels of the pixel group corresponding to the line in the printing data for the component color stored in the memory.
