Patent ID: 8172353

Claim:
A liquid droplet jetting apparatus which jets a liquid droplet onto a medium, comprising: a liquid droplet jetting head having a liquid droplet jetting surface having a nozzle through which the liquid droplet is jetted; a wind-velocity detecting mechanism which measures a wind-velocity at an area around the liquid droplet jetting head; and a jetting control mechanism which controls a liquid droplet jetting operation of the liquid droplet jetting head, and which adjusts a drive signal for driving the liquid droplet jetting head based on the wind-velocity measured by the wind-velocity detecting mechanism, wherein the jetting control mechanism has a wind-velocity storage section which stores the wind velocity measured by the wind-velocity detecting mechanism while associating the measured wind velocity with a relative position of the liquid droplet jetting head relative to the medium; and the jetting control mechanism adjusts the drive signal based on the wind velocity stored in the wind-velocity storage section and the relative position associated with the stored wind velocity.
