Abstract
A printing system including a printing unit and an imaging unit is provided with: a defect detection unit that detects a defect included in a captured image; a defective nozzle position candidate extraction unit that extracts N position candidates as candidates for a position of a defective nozzle based on the position of the defect; a first correction unit that performs a defect correction process; and a defective nozzle identification unit that identifies the defective nozzle. The first correction unit performs the defect correction process while sequentially setting only N nozzles corresponding to the N position candidates one by one as a correction target nozzle. The defective nozzle identification unit identifies the defective nozzle based on the position of the defect detected by the defect detection unit based on the corrected image.
