Abstract

A printing apparatus, having a first head including first nozzles and first driving elements, a second head including second nozzles and second driving elements, first flow paths, a second flow path, and a controller, is provided. The controller is configured to acquire a first printing color gamut and, after loading the second flow path with the ink in the custom color, operate the first and second driving elements to print patches for first imaging color values. The first printing color gamut is a gamut including a custom color within a printing color gamut in a predetermined color space. The printing color gamut is a gamut including color values of colors printable in the inks in basic colors and the custom color. The first imaging color values are color values falling within the first printing color gamut among color values in image data of the image to be printed.
