摘要

A printing method comprises: ejecting ink from ink ejecting sections provided in/on a movable print head to form dots; performing at least either printing with a first arrangement using inks arranged according to the first arrangement or printing with a second arrangement using inks arranged according to the second arrangement by changing the arrangement of inks supplied to each of the ink ejecting sections; and printing, with one forward and return movement of the print head, a correction pattern for determining a correction amount to be used for printing with the first arrangement and a correction amount to be used for printing with the second arrangement for correcting a misalignment between a position where dots are formed during a forward pass of the print head and a position where dots are formed during a return pass of the print head that occurs during printing with the first and second arrangements.
