A printing apparatus includes a controller forming an image on a printing-medium by repeating an image-forming-operation of allowing a plurality of nozzle-columns to be moved and allowing the plurality of nozzle-columns to eject ink and a transporting-operations of allowing the printing-medium to be transported. The controller forms a first-image by an image-forming-operation where the moving-direction of a nozzle-column is one direction in a second direction by using a first-image-nozzle-group configured with the nozzles included in the first-nozzle-column. In addition, the controller forms a second-image which is overlapped with the first-image by an image-forming-operation where the moving-direction of a nozzle-column is one direction and by an image-forming-operation where the moving-direction of the nozzle-column is the direction opposite to the one direction by using a second-image-nozzle-group configured with the nozzles of which positions in the first direction are different from those of the first-image-nozzle-group among the nozzles included in the second-nozzle-column.
