Abstract:
1. A liquid droplet ejecting apparatus comprising: a liquid droplet ejecting head configured to eject liquid droplets onto the ejected target element to form a plurality of dots arranged at predetermined dot intervals in a plurality of dot columns, the liquid droplet ejecting head comprising: a flow passage unit comprising: an actuator unit configured to selectively pressurize liquid in one of the first individual flow passage and the second individual flow passage, thereby ejecting liquid droplets from the corresponding one of the first nozzle and the second nozzle; and a control unit configured to control the actuator unit and the liquid droplet ejecting head, wherein the control unit controls the actuator unit to eject a liquid droplet from the first nozzle during an ejection time interval, then subsequently control the liquid droplet ejecting head to move a predetermined distance in the scanning direction, then subsequently suspend the first nozzle from ejecting, and control the actuator unit to eject a liquid droplet from the second nozzle, wherein the predetermined distance is less than the predetermined dot interval, wherein the control unit controls the actuator unit to eject dots such that positions of the plurality of dots formed in a first dot column are offset from positions of the plurality of dots formed in second dot column adjacent to the first dot column in the scanning direction.
