Abstract
A printing apparatus includes a printer to perform printing on a first target object and a second target object by ejecting a liquid in a first direction, a first finger holder on which the first target object is placeable, and a second finger holder on which the second target object is placeable. A first adjustor adjusts a first distance in the first direction between the first target object placed on the first finger holder and the printer, and a second adjustor adjusts a second distance in the first direction between the second target object placed on the second finger holder and the printer. In addition, a controller controls at least one of the first adjustor and the second adjustor such that the first distance is smaller than the second distance in a case of printing on the first target object. The first adjustor and the second adjustor use a same motor as a drive source.
