Abstract:
A liquid ejection apparatus to eject liquid droplets includes an inkjet head that is an ejection head including a plurality of nozzles and a plurality of driving elements, a driving signal outputter, an ejection nozzle setter, and a timing setter to set timing at which the driving elements receive a driving signal. The driving signal outputter outputs, in common, a voltage change signal being a signal whose voltage changes with passage of time, as at least a part of the driving signal, to the plurality of nozzles. The timing setter individually sets, for each of the driving elements, a time period during which the driving elements receive the voltage change signal. The nozzles respectively eject liquid droplets by inkjet technology according to the driving signal in which the time period to receive the voltage change signal is individually set.

Claim (Index 12):
A liquid ejection apparatus configured to eject liquid droplets by inkjet technology, the liquid ejection apparatus comprising:\n an ejection head, comprising:\n a plurality of nozzles, configured to respectively eject liquid droplets by the inkjet technology, and \n a plurality of driving elements, configured to cause liquid droplets to be respectively ejected from the respective nozzles; \n a driving signal outputter, configured to output a driving signal for driving the driving elements; an ejection nozzle setter, configured to set the nozzle that ejects liquid droplets by selecting the driving element that receives the driving signal; and an ejection property storage, configured to store ejection property of each of the nozzles, wherein the driving signal outputter comprises:\n a setting voltage outputter, configured to output a plurality of setting voltage signals that are a plurality of kinds of signals being set to voltages being different from each other; and \n a selection voltage supplier, configured to supply, as the driving signal, any one of the setting voltage signal to the driving element corresponding to the nozzle that eject liquid droplets, at least partial timing of a time period during which the driving signal is supplied to the driving element, and \n wherein the selection voltage supplier supplies, based on ejection property of the nozzle being stored in the ejection property storage, the setting voltage signal being previously associated with ejection property of the nozzle, to the driving elements respectively corresponding to the nozzles.
