Abstract

A printing apparatus includes a printing unit that prints an image on a sheet by using ink, a feed path along which the sheet is transported toward the printing unit, a switchback mechanism that, when two sides of the sheet are to be printed, switches back the sheet of which one of the two sides has been printed and sends the sheet to the feed path, and a correction roller pair capable of correcting skew of the sheet by having firm contact with the sheet transported along the feed path. The correction roller pair includes a correction driving roller (61) and a correction driven roller that face each other and transports the sheet toward the printing unit as the correction driving roller (61) and the correction driven roller nip the sheet and rotate. The correction driving roller (61) has on its peripheral surface a plurality of protruded portions (77) capable of having point contact with the sheet and contacts the sheet from a side opposite, across the feed path, to a side on which the printing unit is provided.
