Abstract (en)

[origin: EP3196038A2] A printing mechanism unit that forms an image by ejecting first ink and second ink which have hues different from each other toward a recording medium, while moving multiple number of times with respect to the recording medium; a pass analysis unit that decides an ejection position of the ink in multiple paths through which the printing unit moves, when the image is formed; an execution unit that, when two paths different from each other of the multiple paths are referred to as a first path and a second path, performs ejection position change correction in which the ejection position is changed such that at least one ink of the first ink and the second ink which are ejected into the first path is ejected into the second path; and a determination unit that determines whether or not the execution unit performs the ejection position change correction, based on an amount of ejection per unit area of at least one ink of the first ink and the second ink with respect to the image, are provided.
