Inkjet printing apparatus and inkjet printing method

Abstract

An inkjet printing apparatus includes a head that ejects ink toward a recording medium transported by a transport unit, and an ejection controller that causes the head to eject ink. The ejection controller is configured to perform process including: process of calculating a transport speed of the recording medium; process of generating reference timing of ejection of ink by the head; process of determining a target delay amount by which timing of ejection of ink by the head is delayed from the reference timing on the basis of a transport speed coinciding with the reference timing; process of updating a target delay amount, on the occurrence of change in the transport speed before the recording medium is transported by a distance corresponding to the target delay amount, the target delay amount being updated in response to the transport speed as changed; and process of delaying timing of ejection of ink by the head on the basis of the target delay amount as updated.
