Abstract:
1. A liquid ejecting apparatus that ejects a liquid onto a medium from a nozzle and forms an image on the medium, the apparatus comprising: a head unit that includes a first nozzle group including first nozzles which eject a liquid having a first color, a second nozzle group including second nozzles which eject a liquid having a second color, and a third nozzle group including third nozzles which eject a liquid having a third color; and a control unit that controls driving of the head unit, wherein, when an amount of the liquid having the first color to be ejected from the first nozzles in order to form an image on the medium is a first ejection amount and an ejection state of the liquid ejected from the first nozzles is abnormal, the control unit increases the amount of the liquid having the second color ejected from the second nozzles by a second ejection amount which is smaller than the first ejection amount and increases the amount of the liquid having the third color ejected from the third nozzles by a third ejection amount which is smaller than the first ejection amount instead of allowing the first nozzles to eject the liquid having the first color.
