Abstract
An image printing apparatus includes color print heads capable of ejecting color ink of at least one type, monochromatic print heads capable of ejecting monochromatic ink, and a printing control section for causing the print heads to eject the ink onto a sheet while moving the print heads relative to the sheet to selectively print a color image or a monochromatic image. The number of density types of the monochromatic ink is greater than that of the color ink.
