Printing apparatus

A printing apparatus comprising:

• a printing head configured to perform printing on a medium;
• transport rollers configured to sandwich and transport the medium;
• a medium bending unit configured to bend the medium to peel off a label from a backing sheet when the medium has a configuration in which the label is attached to the backing sheet;
• and
• a medium guide configured to contact with one edge in a width direction of the medium to be bent by the medium bending unit,
• wherein the transport rollers include a biasing mechanism configured to bias the medium in a direction intersecting a transport direction of the medium and also toward the medium guide, during the transport of the medium,
• wherein the biasing mechanism includes a plurality of nip rollers arranged in a direction intersecting the transport direction, and
• when a nip pressure by a first nip roller of the plurality of nip rollers is compared with a nip pressure by a second nip roller of the plurality of nip rollers, with the second nip roller being distanced farther from the medium guide than the first nip roller, the nip pressure by the first nip roller is higher than the nip pressure by the second nip roller.
