PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a printing apparatus and a printing control method capable of performing high quality printing by preventing the displacement of an image to be printed even when a recording medium has moved in a direction perpendicular to the scanning direction of a printing head in the middle of printing when performing printing on the recording medium.SOLUTION: A printing apparatus includes: a printing part 40 including a printing head 46 provided with a plurality of nozzles 461 in a row in the range wider than a printing width, and performing printing on a nail part T; a position information acquisition part 512 for acquiring the position information about the nail part T; a position change detection part 513 for detecting the position change of the nail part T in the nozzle row direction Y in printing operation, based on the position information about the nail part T acquired by the position information acquisition part 512; and a nozzle drive control part 515 controlling the printing operation of the printing part 40 so as to change the nozzle 461 to be driven into the nozzle row direction Y according to the position change of the nail part T, when the position change of the nail part T in the nozzle row direction Y is detected by the position change detection part 513, so that printing can be performed by the nozzle 461 after the change. |
