  • Patent number: 11491778
    Abstract: A printing device that performs printing on a medium includes an inkjet head, a main scan driving unit, a sub scan driving unit, and a control unit, where the control unit sets a sub-scanning movement amount based on a basic movement amount, which is a basic movement amount set according to print conditions, and a value indicating a distance for increasing or decreasing the sub-scanning movement amount in the print conditions set at the time of inputting an input correction value. Furthermore, a storage is further provided, which stores a first correction coefficient used when the basic movement amount is within a first range, and a second correction coefficient used when the basic movement amount is within a second range smaller than the first range, and the control unit sets the sub-scanning movement amount based on the basic movement amount and the calculated correction value.
