According to an embodiment, a liquid ejection device that performs preprocessing to apply a processing liquid from an applying unit to a recording medium before ejecting a liquid droplet onto the recording medium to form an image, the liquid ejection device includes an acquiring unit and a correcting unit. The acquiring unit acquires a capture image that is of an image formed on the recording medium and that is captured by a capturing unit. The correcting unit corrects a state of the processing liquid applied by the applying unit based on a state of the liquid droplet indicated by the capture image.
