Abstract:
A liquid ejecting apparatus includes a nozzle row in which nozzles which discharge a liquid are provided to line up, drive elements for discharging the liquid from the nozzles, and a control unit which drives the drive elements, in which the control unit selects the nozzles which are necessary from the nozzle row based on recording data and causes the liquid to be discharged from the nozzles which are selected at a predetermined timing, and in which a nozzle group is configured by consecutive nozzles which are adjacent to each other among the nozzles which are selected at each timing and a discharge timing of the liquid to be discharged from the nozzles of end portions of the nozzle group is caused to deviate with respect to the discharge timing of the liquid to be discharged from the nozzles other than those of the end portions.

Claim (Index 16):
An image forming method of a liquid ejecting apparatus which includes a nozzle row in which nozzles which discharge a liquid are provided to line up and drive elements for discharging the liquid from the nozzles, the method comprising:\n selecting the nozzles which are necessary from the nozzle row based on recording data and causing the liquid to be discharged from the nozzles which are selected at a predetermined timing; and configuring a nozzle group by consecutive nozzles which are adjacent to each other among the nozzles which are selected at each timing and causing a discharge timing of the liquid to be discharged from the nozzles of end portions of the nozzle group to deviate with respect to the discharge timing of the liquid to be discharged from the nozzles other than those of the end portions.
