In a printed character printed with a printing apparatus provided with a plurality of type elements (5) and a print hammer (7), the specified left or right edge portion thereof has ink adhered heavily on the paper (P), and this specified edge portion is difficult to be erased when erasing a wrongly printed character with a correction ribbon (29). In the disclosed character erasable printing apparatus, after moving the carriage (1) from the print position by a predetermined minute distance in the printing direction or in its opposite direction toward the specified edge portion, a first hammering for erasure is carried out, and subsequently after moving the carriage in the direction opposite to above-described movement, at least, a second hammering for erasure is carried out with an unused fresh portion of the correction ribbon (29) made to face the specified edge portion having residual ink.
