Abstract
A printing device is configured to print a first band in a first pass and to print a second band in a second pass so that the second band partially overlaps the first band for from an overlap printed area. The overlap printed area is divided by a single continuous boundary line into a first area that is printed during the first pass and a second area that is printed during the second pass. The boundary line includes a first boundary line portion where a parallel line extending parallel to a sub-scanning direction crosses the boundary line from the first area into the second area and a second boundary line portion where the parallel line crosses from the second area into the first area.
