Abstract
A nail printing apparatus prints an image on a nail, and includes a finger placement unit capable of lifting and lowering on which a finger corresponding to the nail is placed, with the finger placement unit having a fixing unit to fix the finger. The fixing unit includes a pressing unit to cover at least a part of the finger, and a pushing-up unit to push up the finger until the finger contacts the pressing unit. In addition, an adjustment unit adjusts an inclination in a height direction of a tip side and a bottom side of a surface of the nail corresponding to the finger placed on the finger placement unit. The adjustment unit includes a fingertip placement unit arranged on a side closer to a fingertip than the fixing unit, and a fingertip lifting/lowering unit to lift/lower the fingertip placement unit.
