The present invention addresses the problem of appropriately limiting reduction in print quality even when a shift occurs in the impact position of ink droplets discharged from the nozzle at the end of a nozzle row. As a solution, the printing apparatus (10), which performs inkjet printing, is provided with: a head unit (12) having nozzle rows in which multiple nozzles that discharge ink droplets stand in a row; and a main scan-driving unit (14), which causes the head unit (12) to perform the main scanning action of moving in a previously established main scanning direction while discharging ink droplets. The head unit (12) has at least three nozzle rows in which multiple nozzles, the positions in the main scanning direction of which are even, stand in a row in an auxiliary scan direction that is orthogonal to the main scan direction. The three or more nozzle rows are disposed in the main scan direction so as to be parallel and the respective nozzle rows are disposed so that the positions of the ends in the auxiliary scan direction are shifted with respect to the nozzle rows that are adjacent in the main scan direction. |
