A printing method including: ejecting an ink which includes a designated compound is ejected from a first nozzle row which is relatively move in an intersection direction intersecting a direction along the nozzle row with respect to a medium, ejecting the ink while relatively moving in the intersection direction to the medium, from the end portion of a second nozzle row which is overlapped with the end portion of the first nozzle row in a direction along the nozzle row direction, wherein when nozzles of the nozzle rows which are partly overlapped with each other in a direction along the nozzle row share with each other to form a common dot line, the amount of ink ejected per unit area in the partly overlapping region is larger than the amount of ink ejected per unit area in a non-overlapping region.

A printing apparatus includes a nozzle that ejects, onto a medium, photo-curing ink cured when irradiated with light, and an irradiation unit that irradiates, with the light, the photo-curing ink landed on the medium. Here, when printing an image on the medium by coating with the photo-curing ink, the photo-curing ink is ejected from the nozzle so that the photo-curing ink is coated on the medium with a smaller amount of ink than normally coated in a region inside an outer border of the image, and the photo-curing ink is cured by irradiating the image with the light from the irradiation unit.

To prevent uneven gloss on a printed image in a printing apparatus in which light-curable ink is used, a printing apparatus is provided. The printing apparatus includes a controller controls medium-conveying parts for conveying a medium so that the medium supplied from an upstream side is released on a downstream side; nozzles for discharging ink droplets cured by light irradiation onto the medium; a light-irradiation part for irradiating the medium with light; and medium-deforming parts arranged on the downstream side of the nozzles, holding the medium from the front and back, and deforming the medium so that an irregular shape is formed in cross section; the medium is conveyed downstream by the medium-conveying parts after the medium is deformed by the medium-deforming parts; droplets of ink are discharged from the nozzles to form an image on the surface of the medium; and the ink droplets discharged onto the medium are irradiated with light by the light-irradiation part to cure the droplets.

A printing apparatus includes a nozzle that ejects, to a medium, photo-curing ink cured when irradiated with light, and an irradiation unit that irradiates, with the light, the photo-curing ink landed on the medium. Here, when printing an image on the medium by coating with the photo-curing ink, the photo-curing ink is ejected from the nozzle so that unevenness is formed in an original edge of the image by having a pixel that forms a dot along the edge and a pixel that does not form the dot appeared, and the photo-curing ink is cured by irradiating the image with the light from the irradiation unit.

An adjustment method is a method for adjusting a fluid ejection device having first and second heads with the first head disposed on an upstream side of the second head in a feed direction in which a medium is conveyed, the second head forming dot rows of a fluid between dot rows of the fluid formed by the first head. The first head and the second head are driven with a first voltage change amount to form a first test pattern, and the first head and the second head are driven with a second voltage change amount to form a second test pattern.
