Abstract:
A printing apparatus includes a print execution section and a controller. The print execution section includes a printing head which has nozzles for discharging ink of specified color, the nozzles being aligned in a first direction; a head driver which drives the printing head to discharge the ink of the specified color thereby forming dots of the specified color on a printing medium; and a conveyor which conveys the printing medium relative to the printing head in any direction of the first direction and a second direction intersecting with the first direction. The controller is configured to: acquire object image data; generate a plurality of pieces of dot data, which represent formation states of the dots of the specified color, for a plurality of pixels by using the object image data; and print a printing image on the printing medium by using the plurality of pieces of dot data.
