Abstract
To perform high-quality printing more appropriately, a printing apparatus () configured to print on a medium () by inkjet includes: an inkjet head (); and a UV light source () as an energy ray emitting unit. The UV light source () emits the ultraviolet rays to the ink adhered to the medium (), causing the ink to generate heat to evaporate at least a part of a solvent in the ink. The ink ejected by the inkjet head () includes a polymerizing substance that polymerizes when irradiated with the energy rays, and the solvent. The ink on the medium () is in a state in which planarization of the ink progresses with a lapse of time at a time point after 100 ms has elapsed since the UV light source () emitted the ultraviolet rays.
