A printing apparatus performs a circulation of ink and a cleaning operation for an inkjet head. In a case where it is determined that a circulation timing for performing the circulation of the ink comes to be arrived, a controller of the printing apparatus determines whether or not to arrive at a print timing. In a case where it is determined that the print timing comes to be arrived, the controller performs the circulation and the cleaning operation. On the other hand, in a case where it is not determined that the print timing comes to be arrived, the controller performs the circulation and does not perform the cleaning operation.
