Claim:
An ejecting apparatus comprising: a first set of ink jet heads; a second set of ink jet heads spaced from the first set of ink jet heads in a main scanning direction, each of the heads of the second set of ink jet heads offset in a sub-scanning direction relative to heads of the first set of ink jet heads; a liquid drop ejecting head comprising at least one of the heads of the first set of ink jet heads and the second set of ink jet heads that include a plurality of nozzles aligned for ejecting a fluid liquid material to a substance to receive the ejection; a holding member for holding a surface on which the nozzles of the liquid drop ejecting head are disposed so as to face a surface of the substance to receive the ejection having a space between the surface which has the nozzles and the surface of the substance to receive the ejection so as to dispose a plurality of the liquid drop ejecting heads in line in a predetermined direction; a moving member which moves at least one of the holding member or the substance to receive the ejection relatively such that the liquid drop ejecting head is along the surface of the substance to receive the ejection; and an ejection regulating member which does not eject a liquid member from the nozzles which are positioned in predetermined areas in both ends in the disposition direction of the nozzles of the plurality of the liquid drop ejecting heads, an ejection amount of the liquid member being regulated so that the ejection of the liquid member is halted from the nozzles in the predetermined areas, an average ejection amount of the liquid member from the nozzles in the predetermined areas being 10% or more than an average ejection amount of the liquid member from the nozzles outside of the predetermined areas, under the condition that each of the average ejection amounts indicate an average amount of the liquid drop ejected from all of the nozzles in or outside the predetermined areas, respectively.
