PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To inspect print quality easily and accurately without requiring a large capacity memory. SOLUTION: In the inspection method of a print mechanism 1 for printing on a print medium 8 by selectively turning on/off a plurality of pixels arranged in the direction Y substantially perpendicular to the carrying direction X of the print medium 8, the print medium 8 is provided with an inspection area Cn. All pixels are turned on/off at least once and an inspection mark CMn is printed in the inspection area Cn. Image data of the actual inspection mark CMn printed in the inspection area Cn is then acquired and the print mechanism is inspected based on the scanning signal of the image data. |
