A printing apparatus includes a recording head, a driver IC, a dummy signal detection circuit, and a drive signal control circuit. The recording head has a recording element which performs recording on a recording medium. The driver IC has a drive circuit which applies a drive signal to the recording element, and a dummy drive circuit which outputs a dummy signal having a value associated with the drive signal. The dummy signal detection circuit detects the dummy signal. The drive signal control circuit controls the drive signal based on a value of the dummy signal detected by the dummy signal detection circuit.
