The printing head 250 includes color ink nozzle rows 244-247 in which a plurality of nozzles ejecting color inks are arranged in the sub-scanning direction, a first light-shielding ink nozzle row 248 in which a plurality of nozzles ejecting light-shielding inks are arranged in the sub-scanning direction, and a second light-shielding ink nozzle row 249 in which a plurality of nozzles ejecting light-shielding inks are arranged in the sub-scanning direction, and which is different from the first light-shielding ink nozzle row 248.
