PRINTING APPARATUS AND PRINTING METHOD

The abstract describes a printing apparatus that controls the application amount of a reactive liquid during printing on a print medium. The control is based on whether the application amount per unit area is a first amount or a second amount larger than the first amount. The apparatus ensures that the total application amount of the reactive liquid printed by the first half of the scans and the second half of the scans may be different in these two cases.

The printing apparatus controls the application amount of a reactive liquid during printing.
The control is based on the application amount per unit area being a first amount or a second amount.
The total application amount of the reactive liquid printed by the first half and second half of the scans may be different in these two cases.

Flexibility to achieve different effects based on the desired application amount

Original Abstract Submitted

A printing apparatus performs control so that out of N scans for printing an image in a predetermined region on a print medium, a total application amount of a reactive liquid printed by first N/2 scans and a total application amount of the reactive liquid printed by second N/2 scans may be different between a case where an application amount of the reactive liquid per unit area which corresponds to the predetermined region is a first amount and a case where the application amount of the reactive liquid per unit area is a second amount larger than the first amount.
