Patent ID: 8353570

Claim:
A liquid ejecting apparatus comprising: a liquid ejecting head which has a plurality of successive flow paths reaching from a liquid replenishment section to a nozzle and ejects a liquid from the nozzle; a head movement section which moves the liquid ejecting head in a movement direction; and a controller which controls a movement ejection operation that ejects the liquid from the nozzle while moving the liquid ejecting head in the movement direction, and, in the case of satisfying a decision condition representing that an ejection rate of the liquid in the movement ejection operation is excessive, makes the number of times of the movement ejection operation related to a certain range be larger than a case where the decision condition is not satisfied, wherein, with respect to a second liquid being higher in viscosity than a first liquid, the controller determines the number of times of the movement ejection operation related to the above-mentioned certain range by the above-mentioned decision condition determined as excess of the above-mentioned ejection rate at an ejection rate being smaller than that of the first liquid, wherein the ejection rate of the liquid is a proportion of the amount of liquid which is ejected at a certain timing to the largest amount of liquid which can be ejected at the certain timing.
