Claim Text:
1. A liquid ejecting apparatus that includes a liquid ejecting head which includes a pressure generating unit for generating pressure variation of liquid stored in a pressure chamber communicating with a nozzle and which ejects the liquid towards a landing target from the nozzle according to driving of the pressure generating unit; a head moving unit which moves the liquid ejecting head in a scan direction; and a driving signal generating unit which generates a driving signal including an ejection pulse for ejecting the liquid from the nozzle, and that while moving the liquid ejecting head by the head moving unit, forms an image on the landing target based on ejection control data, comprising: a control unit that in a case where an amount of the ejection control data corresponding to a predetermined area on the landing target is relatively large, performs control in such a manner that the moving speed of the liquid ejecting head at a constant speed section at which the liquid ejecting head moves at a constant speed is slower than that in a case where an amount of the ejection control data is relatively small, wherein in the case where the amount of the ejection control data is relatively large and in the case where the amount of the ejection control data is relatively small, ink is ejected from the ejecting head during the constant speed section, during an acceleration speed section that accelerates the moving speed to the constant speed section, and during a deceleration speed section that decelerates the moving speed from the constant speed section.
