Abstract

See full text

An object of the present invention is to provide an ink jet printing apparatus and an ink jet printing method which can prevent print quality from being degraded by a non-ejection nozzle while maintaining high-speed printing performance based on a raster division method. The present invention sequentially performs, array by array, an operation of ejecting ink through a plurality of nozzle arrays to sequentially print an image in a plurality of raster forming areas of a print medium. At this time, if an expected printing result fails to be achieved owing to a nozzle included in any of the nozzle arrays which exhibits degraded ejecting performance, degrading image quality, then the ejection order of the plurality of nozzle arrays is changed. This enables a reduction in the degradation of print quality caused by the ejecting performance of the nozzles.
