Patent ID: 8628159

Claim:
A method for manufacturing a liquid ejecting apparatus comprising a plurality of liquid ejecting heads where an ejection outlet that ejects a liquid and a flow channel extending to the ejection outlet are formed, respectively, the plurality of liquid ejecting heads including a low brightness head that ejects a liquid of a brightness lower than a predetermined brightness and a high brightness head that ejects a liquid of a brightness equal to or higher than the predetermined brightness including a colorless liquid, the method comprising: a check process of performing a check associated with liquid ejecting performance of the ejection outlet on each of the plurality of liquid ejecting heads; a ranking process of classifying, based on a result of the check, the plurality of liquid ejecting heads as any of a plurality of ranks including a first rank where the liquid ejecting performance is equal to or higher than a predetermined performance and a second rank where the liquid ejecting performance is lower than the first rank; and a distribution process of distributing the liquid ejecting head classified as the first rank in the ranking process to the low brightness head, and distributing the liquid ejecting head classified as the second rank in the ranking process to the high brightness head.
