Abstract
A printing apparatus, a printing method, and a control apparatus are provided that are capable of reliably preventing a printing unit from colliding, when a first press member or a second press member is displaced, with a displaced press member, and then allowing the printing unit to quickly restart a printing operation. A printing apparatus includes a transport unit configured to transport a work as a recording medium, a printing unit configured to perform printing on the work while moving in a width direction of the work, a first press member configured to press one side of the work in the width direction, a second press member configured to press another side of the work in the width direction, and a detecting unit configured to detect each of a displacement of the first press member in a vertical direction.
