Abstract
In accordance with one embodiment, a printing apparatus comprises a conveyance section, a print head, an erasing head, a cutter and a control section. The conveyance section conveys roll paper. The print head carries out printing with color erasable ink on the roll paper conveyed forward by the conveyance section. The erasing head erases the color of the color erasable ink printed on the roll paper conveyed backward by the conveyance section. The cutter cuts the roll paper printed by the print head. The control section determines whether or not to cut the roll paper by the cutter, controls the conveyance section to convey the roll paper backward in a case of not cutting the roll paper, and controls the erasing head to erase the color of the color erasable ink printed on the roll paper.
