A printing apparatus is disclosed herein. The apparatus comprises a chassis moveable on a surface through a motion control system, a receiver to receive a signal from a positioning module corresponding to a distance of the printing apparatus with respect to a reference; a printhead to selectively eject an amount of a printing fluid to the surface; and a controller. The controller is to determine the actual location of the printing apparatus with respect to a grid map representative of a part of the surface, the grid map including a plurality of nodal points with its corresponding height values; and to control the motion control system to move the chassis to a first surface location corresponding to a first nodal point of the grid map. The controller is further to obtain a vertical component value with respect to the reference at the surface location; and control the printhead to eject an amount of printing fluid at the surface location in a pattern indicative of an error between the vertical component value and the nodal point height.
