Patent ID: 8454117

Claim:
A liquid ejecting apparatus comprising: a first liquid ejecting head which ejects a first liquid containing metallic particles from a first nozzle onto a target, the first liquid ejecting head being disposed so that a nozzle opening of the first nozzle faces a first direction which is higher than a horizontal direction, and ejects the liquid from the first nozzle in the first direction, thereby attaching the liquid to the target, wherein having the first nozzle open in the first direction is configured to suppress blockage of the first nozzle opening by settling of the first liquid; and a second liquid ejecting head that ejects a second liquid containing a color pigment onto the target from a second nozzle, the second liquid ejecting head being disposed so that a second nozzle opening of the second nozzle faces a second direction that is lower than a horizontal direction, wherein having the second nozzle open in the second direction is configured to suppress a liquid flight curve generated by the influence of gravity.
