Original Abstract Submitted
A printing device includes: a printer, which to include a plurality of nozzles; a discharge detection sensor configured to detect an amount of ink discharged from the plurality of the nozzles; and a nozzle combination calculator configured to determine a final nozzle combination for each pixel column on a substrate based on discharge rates of the plurality of the nozzles, where the nozzle combination calculator includes: an average value calculator configured to set a usable nozzle group for each pixel column of the substrate among the plurality of the nozzles; and a nozzle combination determiner configured to determine the final nozzle combination corresponding to each pixel column by using a moving average value of nozzle discharge rates of the nozzle group set for each pixel column.
