Abstract
A plurality of nozzle rows include a first nozzle row including first nozzles, a second nozzle row including second nozzles, and a third nozzle row including third nozzles. The third nozzle row is provided between the first nozzle row and the second nozzle row in a relative movement direction. When the first ink from the first nozzle is replaced at least by the second ink from the second nozzle and the third ink from the third nozzle, an edge portion of an output image to be formed is formed in such a manner that a first use rate is lower than a second use rate, the first use rate being a use rate of the second nozzle for the edge portion of the output image, the second use rate being a use rate of the second nozzle for a non-edge portion of the output image.
