A printing apparatus includes a feeding unit configured to feed a printing sheet, a conveyance unit configured to convey the printing sheet fed by the feeding unit, a printing unit configured to print the printing sheet conveyed by the conveyance unit, and a control unit configured to control conveyance of a preceding sheet and a succeeding sheet fed after the preceding sheet. The control unit makes a leading edge of the succeeding sheet overlap the preceding sheet and the control unit decides an overlapping amount of the preceding sheet and the succeeding sheet such that the overlapping amount, in a case when an ink amount discharged on at least one of the preceding sheet and the succeeding sheet is greater than a threshold, is less than the overlapping amount in a case when the ink amount is less than the threshold.
