A liquid ejecting apparatus comprising: a liquid ejecting head that includes nozzles and that ejects liquid from the nozzles onto a liquid-ejected medium on the basis of liquid ejection data; a carriage that carries the liquid ejecting head and that moves in the width direction of the liquid-ejected medium; and a control section that includes a first carriage movement mode that determines a stop position of the carriage in this movement where the nozzles and a side end in the width direction of the liquid-ejected medium do not face each other, and a second carriage movement mode that determines a stop position of the carriage in this movement including the position where the nozzles and a side end in the width direction of the liquid-ejected medium face each other, and that selects one of the first carriage movement mode or the second carriage movement mode in accordance with the liquid-ejected medium, wherein the control section selects the first carriage movement mode in a case where a first type of medium, in which a main constituent of a material of the liquid-ejected medium is pulp, is selected as the liquid-ejected medium, and selects the second carriage movement mode in a case where a second type of medium, in which a main constituent of the material of the liquid-ejected medium is resin, is selected as the liquid-ejected medium.
