Printing apparatus

A printing apparatus comprising:

• an ejection unit configured to perform a print operation of forming an image on a print medium by ejecting liquid from an ejection port by using drive of an ejection energy generation element provided in a pressure chamber, the liquid flowing into the pressure chamber from a first flow passage;
• a circulation unit configured to circulate the liquid in a circulation flow passage including the first flow passage, the pressure chamber, and a second flow passage configured to allow the liquid in the pressure chamber to flow to an outside of the pressure chamber;
• a recovery unit configured to perform a recovery operation of the ejection unit;
• and
• a control unit configured to stop the circulation unit before completion of the print operation by the ejection unit in a case when the recovery operation is to be performed after the print operation,
• wherein the control unit stops the circulation unit before the completion of the print operation such that a flow velocity at a timing of the completion of the print operation is a flow velocity higher than a flow velocity at which an ejection characteristic is maintained.
