Printing apparatus and method of judging nozzle discharge state of printing apparatus

A printing apparatus comprising:

• a printhead including:
• a plurality of nozzles, each configured to discharge ink, and
• a plurality of sensors, corresponding to the plurality of nozzles, each configured to detect a discharge state of ink from the plurality of nozzles;
• a print control unit configured to:
• cause the printhead to print, based on print data, an image by driving the printhead under a first drive condition to discharge ink from the printhead, and
• cause the printhead to discharge ink by driving the printhead, based on inspection data, under a second drive condition different from the first drive condition;
• and
• a judgement unit configured to judge a discharge state of each of the plurality of nozzles, based on an output from each of the plurality of sensors at a timing of driving the printhead by the print control unit under the second drive condition.
