Abstract
In a printing chip overlapping area being an area in which a first printing chip and a second printing chip overlap with each other when viewed from a second direction, ink is discharged so that a first overlapping area and a second overlapping area at least partially do not overlap with each other when viewed from the second direction. In the first overlapping area, a nozzle usage ratio of a first nozzle row and a nozzle usage ratio of a third nozzle row are neither 0% nor 100%. In the second overlapping area, a nozzle usage ratio of a second nozzle row and a nozzle usage ratio of a fourth nozzle row are neither 0% nor 100%.
