Printing apparatus, printing method and non-transitory computer-readable medium storing program regarding printing method

A printing method for a printing apparatus, the printing apparatus including:

• a head including a plurality of nozzles aligned in a first direction;
• a manifold containing ink communicating with the plurality of nozzles;
• and
• a first temperature sensor for detecting, in the manifold, a temperature difference between a temperature of the ink at an upstream end of the manifold in the first direction and a temperature of the ink at a downstream end of then manifold in the first direction, wherein
• the plurality of nozzles includes a first nozzle arranged at the upstream in the first direction, and a second nozzle arranged at the downstream in the first direction,
• the printing method comprising:
• discharging of the ink from the plurality of nozzles onto a print medium, based on image data, so as to form an image by the ink landed on the print medium;
• and
• correcting of a discharge timing of the ink from the plurality of nozzles based on the temperature difference so that a distance between a landing position of the ink discharged from the first nozzle and a landing position of the ink discharged from the second nozzle becomes short in a second direction crossing the first direction.

A non-transitory, computer-readable medium storing a program for controlling a printing apparatus, the printing apparatus including:

• a head including a plurality of nozzles aligned in a first direction, a manifold communicating with the plurality of nozzles;
• and
• a first temperature sensor for detecting, in the manifold, a temperature difference between a temperature of the ink at upstream in the first direction and a temperature of the ink at a downstream in the first direction, wherein
• the plurality of nozzles includes a first nozzle arranged at the upstream in the first direction, and a second nozzle arranged at the downstream in the first direction,
• the program causing a computer of the printing apparatus to execute:
• discharging of the ink from the plurality of nozzles onto a print medium, based on image data, so as to form an image by the ink landed on the print medium;
• and
• correcting of a discharge timing of the ink from the plurality of nozzles based on the temperature difference so that a distance between a landing position of the ink discharged from the first nozzle and a landing position of the ink discharged from the second nozzle becomes short in a second direction crossing the first direction.
