Printing apparatus and printing method

摘要

A printing apparatus includes: a nozzle head that has nozzles ejecting ink that is cured by an electromagnetic wave and relatively moves with respect to a printing medium; an applying section that relatively moves together with the nozzle head, and applies the electromagnetic wave; and a control section that controls intensity of the electromagnetic wave, in which a first intensity of the electromagnetic wave in a region in which the applying section and the printing medium face each other and that is a constant speed region in which a speed of the relative movement is constant is greater than a second intensity of the electromagnetic wave in regions in which the applying section and the printing medium do not face each other in at least a part thereof and that are acceleration and deceleration regions in which the speed of the relative movement is not constant.

1. A printing apparatus comprising:
a nozzle head that has nozzles ejecting ink that is cured by an electromagnetic wave and relatively moves with respect to a printing medium in at least a main scanning direction; an applying section that relatively moves together with the nozzle head and is positioned on a downstream side of the nozzle head in the main scanning direction, and applies the electromagnetic wave; and a control section that controls intensity of the electromagnetic wave, wherein the applying section relatively moves in a constant speed region and a not constant speed region; and wherein in the not speed constant region, the intensity of electromagnetic wave at a first relative position is smaller than the intensity of electromagnetic wave at a second relative position that is between the first relative position and the constant speed region.
