Zusammenfassung: | A printing apparatus includes a transport mechanism, heads, and an estimation part. The transport mechanism transports an elongated strip-shaped base material along a predetermined transport path in a longitudinal direction thereof. The heads eject ink onto a surface of the base material being transported by the transport mechanism, based on submitted data. The estimation part outputs an estimation result indicating the expansion/contraction state of the base material resulting from the ink, based on the submitted data, prior to printing of the submitted data. This provides the estimation result of the expansion/contraction state in accordance with the submitted data. Thus, the submitted data is printed in consideration of the estimation result. The printing apparatus according to the present invention is capable of estimating the expansion/contraction state of the base material in accordance with the submitted data prior to the printing. |
