Abstract (en)

[origin: EP3437891A1] A printing apparatus (10) includes: a recording part (11) for causing a recording agent to adhere to a base material, thereby recording a print image on the base material; and a printing controller (51) for controlling the recording part (11). The printing controller (51) includes: a temporary printing processing part (72) for causing the recording part (11) to execute a temporary printing process that records single pages of a temporary print image on the base material; an actual printing processing part (73) for causing the recording part (11) to execute an actual printing process that records single pages of an actual print image on the base material; and a printing process switching part (74) for causing the recording part (11) to execute switching from the temporary printing process to the actual printing process during the execution of the temporary printing process. The amount of recording agent used during printing of the temporary print image is smaller than that used during printing of the actual print image. This achieves the suppression of an increase in the amount of consumption of the recording agent in the printing apparatus used in conjunction with a post-processing apparatus, and precise alignment in the post-processing apparatus.
