With respect to mask data sets for a multi-pass mode, the disclosure implements a more appropriate mask data configuration. A printing apparatus 10 for performing printing in an inkjet mode includes an inkjet head, and a controller 20. The controller 20 controls the inkjet head such that the inkjet head performs printing on a medium 50 in a multi-pass mode. In each of a plurality of printing passes which is performed on each position of the medium 50, the controller controls the inkjet head such that the inkjet head ejects ink drops onto pixels designated by a mask data set. In a case where the spatial frequencies of the arrangement of ink dots which are formed on the medium 50 during a first printing pass of the plurality of printing passes are referred to as first frequencies, and the spatial frequencies of the arrangement of ink dots which are formed on the medium 50 during a second printing pass later than the first printing pass are referred to as second frequencies, the first frequencies are frequencies lower than the second frequencies. |
