Provided are: an image printing apparatus for printing an image in which a line in a line pattern can be easily and reliably specified; and an image reading method. The image printing apparatus is provided with: a conveyance means for holding a print medium and conveying same in the conveyance direction; a printing means for printing an image on the print medium using multiple print elements, which are arrayed over the width of printing on the print medium in the width direction that is orthogonal to the conveyance direction and in an orientation that intersects with the conveyance direction; and a print control means for printing a line pattern comprising multiple lines, which are parallel to the conveyance direction, and identifying marks, the widths of which are wider than the respective widths of the multiple lines and narrower than the printing width of the line pattern in the width direction, in a previously determined positional relationship on the print medium conveyed by the conveyance means using the multiple print elements of the printing means. |
