Abstract
A printing apparatus includes: a nozzle head that has nozzles ejecting ink that is cured by an electromagnetic wave and relatively moves with respect to a printing medium; an applying section that relatively moves together with the nozzle head, and applies the electromagnetic wave; and a control section that controls intensity of the electromagnetic wave, in which a first intensity of the electromagnetic wave in a region in which the applying section and the printing medium face each other and that is a constant speed region in which a speed of the relative movement is constant is greater than a second intensity of the electromagnetic wave in regions in which the applying section and the printing medium do not face each other in at least a part thereof and that are acceleration and deceleration regions in which the speed of the relative movement is not constant.
