Patent attributes
Quality of a printed image is improved while minimizing the amount of memory used. For example, a print-control method includes: a first print-control step of repeatedly performing a unit image formation operation of forming a unit image in a unit area on a medium by ejecting ink from nozzles arranged in a predetermined direction and moved in a movement direction, and a first carrying operation of carrying the medium by a predetermined carry amount, to print an image in an end portion, in a carrying direction, of the medium; and a second print-control step of repeatedly performing the unit image formation operation and a second carrying operation of carrying the medium by another predetermined carry amount, to print an image in an intermediate portion, in the carrying direction, of the medium. Darkness of each of the unit images within a mixed range, in which unit images printed in the first print-control step and unit images printed in the second print-control step are mixed, is corrected based on a correction value used in the second print-control step.
