PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a printhead array arrangement for preventing or limiting accumulation of stitch line defects in a multiple printhead array system. SOLUTION: A plurality of printhead arrays are disposed at the positions where the processing directions thereof are mutually different. Each printhead array includes a plurality of printheads arrayed in a direction orthogonal to the processing direction. Each printhead array includes at least one stitch line corresponding to a position along an axis parallel to the direction orthogonal to the processing direction, where an end of one printhead in the printhead array practically aligns with an end of another printhead in the printhead array. The at least one stitch line of each printhead array is offset a predetermined distance in the direction orthogonal to the processing direction from the at least one stitch position of each of the other printhead arrays.
