Abstract
A printing apparatus controls an ejection timing of a printing unit such that a first distance becomes shorter than a second distance, where the first and second distances are distances in a scanning direction between a landing position at which an ink droplet lands on a printing medium in a case where the printing unit scans in a first direction and a landing position at which an ink droplet lands on the printing medium in a case where the printing unit scans in a second direction in first and second printing modes, respectively.
