Abstract
An object of the present invention is to provide an ink jet printing apparatus and an ink jet printing method which can inhibit degradation of image quality resulting from ink drying unevenness regardless of the type of ink and the amount of ejected ink. To accomplish the object, the present invention determines, based on print data, drying characteristics of ink applied by a print head to a predetermined time control area in an image forming area to be formed on a print medium. Based on the result of the determination, a wait time is controlled which is set between a preceding scan and a succeeding scan in a plurality of scans performed within the wait time control area.
