An object of the disclosure is to more appropriately perform high-quality printing in a case of using ultraviolet curing ink in a serial type inkjet printer. As a solution, in a printing apparatus for performing printing in an inkjet mode, an inkjet head (202y) for Y color, an inkjet head (202m) for M color, temporarily hardening light sources (204), an inkjet head (202y), and an inkjet head (202m) are arranged such that their positions in the sub scan direction are deviated from each other. With respect to each position on a medium, after the inkjet head (202y) ejects ink drops, the temporarily hardening light sources (204) hardens the ultraviolet curing ink of the Y color on the medium, to a temporarily hardened state, before the inkjet head (202m) ejects ink drops, and then the inkjet head (202m) ejects ink drops of the M color onto the area where the ultraviolet curing ink of the Y color has hardened to the temporarily hardened state. |
