1. A printing apparatus comprising:
a print head that includes a plurality of nozzles ejecting a liquid agent and performs printing on a print target; and
at least one processor configured to control an ejection operation of the print head based on ejection specification data defining ejection of the liquid agent,
wherein:
at least a first mode and a second mode are provided with respect to application of the ejection specification data,
the processor switches between the first mode and the second mode based on a set printing density, and
when a plurality of the print heads are provided, the processor is configured to control the ejection operation in the first mode in which common ejection specification data is applied to all the print heads in a case where printing is performed at a density lower than a threshold of the set printing density, and to control the ejection operation in the second mode in which individual ejection specification data is applied to each of the print heads in a case where printing is performed at a density higher than the threshold of the set printing density.
