A printing apparatus is an apparatus that performs color printing using an inkjet system, and includes a scanning mechanism by which a printing medium is moved in a scanning direction, and an ejection unit that ejects minute ink droplets toward the printing medium that is being conveyed by the scanning mechanism. In the printing apparatus, an image capturing part captures an image of a page identifier printed on each page of a printing medium, and an inspection part compares a page identification result acquired from an output of the image capturing part with page identification information included in print data. Since the page identifier includes single-color parts that are each printed with only an ink of a respective one of a plurality of colors used in the printing apparatus, a printing defect can be quickly detected during inspection of the first page in which the printing defect has occurred, irrespective of with which ink color out of the plurality of colors the printing defect has occurred.
