The objective of the present invention is to provide a printing apparatus that can accurately determine stains that have occurred on the print surface during printing, and an inspection method employed for the printing apparatus. According to the present invention, the printing apparatus includes: a printing unit that forms an image on a print surface by ejecting ink from print heads based on image data; a reading unit that reads the print surface where the image is formed; and a determination unit that compares, with the image data, the read data obtained by the reading unit, and employs comparison results to determine stains that have occurred on the print surface. |
