Claim 8:
9. A liquid ejection method using for a liquid ejection apparatus including:
an ejection unit having an ejection part, a screen, and an ejection energy generation element that ejects a liquid from the ejection part by using a principle of inkjet ejection into an internal space in a storage part capable of storing the ejected liquid;
a stage on which to dispose a container including a plurality of storage parts; and
a movement unit capable of moving the stage and the ejection unit relative to each other to move the ejection unit to a position at which the ejection unit ejects the liquid to the storage part of the container disposed on the stage,
the method comprising:
when the ejecting unit ejects the liquid to each of the storage parts, covering with the screen opening portions of all of the storage parts to thereby screen internal spaces in all of the storage parts from an external space in such a state that the liquid is ejectable to the storage part to which the liquid is to be ejected.
