Abstract
A method is provided for determining, in a liquid ejection apparatus, a state of a liquid ejection from an ejection port. The liquid ejection apparatus includes the ejection port configured to eject a liquid, a substrate comprising an electrothermal conversion element configured to generate heat for ejecting the liquid from the ejection port, and a temperature detection unit configured to detect temperature information on the substrate. The method includes performing a first comparison process to compare the temperature information on the substrate detected at a first timing by the temperature detection unit with a first threshold value, and performing a second comparison process to compare the temperature information on the substrate detected at a second timing by the temperature detection unit with a second threshold value.
