Abstract
A printing apparatus includes an ink application unit, a reactant application unit, a control unit configured to control an application amount of the reactant to be applied by the reactant application unit, and an identification unit configured to identify a pixel included in a line portion based on image data indicating an image to be formed on the print medium. The control unit controls the application amount of the reactant so that an amount per unit area of the reactant to be applied to a region in which the line portion to be formed on the print medium with the pixel identified by the identification unit is to be printed is less than the amount per unit area of the reactant to be applied to a region in which an image including a pixel not identified by the identification unit is formed.
