Abstract:
1. A liquid droplet ejecting apparatus, comprising: a plurality of liquid droplet ejecting heads arranged in parallel to each other, the liquid droplet ejecting heads having the same liquid droplet ejectable width, and at least one of the liquid droplet ejecting heads being shifted in a widthwise direction of the liquid droplet ejectable width with respect to other liquid droplet ejecting heads, the liquid droplet ejecting apparatus having the following relationship: an image quality assured width<the liquid droplet ejectable width<a liquid droplet ejectable width of the apparatus using all of the plurality of liquid droplet ejecting heads, where the image quality assured width is a width of overlap of image assured regions, the image assured regions being regions that are obtained by a predetermined resolution of each of the plurality of liquid droplet ejecting heads, and a drawing unit which draws an auxiliary image beyond the image quality assured width and within the liquid droplet ejectable width of the apparatus.
