Abstract
A printing apparatus having a head unit that ejects a yellow UV curable-type ink onto a medium, an irradiating section that irradiates the UV light, and a controller that works as follows: when the first mode is set, control is carried out so that, after the UV light with the first energy is irradiated on the UV curable-type ink ejected onto each unit area of the medium, the UV light with the second energy higher than the first energy is irradiated; when the second mode is set for printing an image with a glossiness higher than that of the image printed according to the first mode, control is carried out so that the UV light with an energy higher than that of the first energy is irradiated on the UV curable-type ink ejected on unit area of the medium.
