Abstract
An aspect of the present disclosure is a liquid ejection apparatus including: a liquid ejection head including a conversion element that generates energy required to eject liquid, a first protection layer that blocks contact between the conversion element and the liquid, a second protection layer that partially covers the first protection layer and functions as a first electrode, a second electrode that is electrically connected to the first electrode through the liquid, and an ejection port that ejects the liquid, and a control unit configured to control a potential difference between the first electrode and the second electrode in printing to a predetermined value by changing at least one of potentials of the first electrode and the second electrode. The control unit sets the potential difference based on at least one of a condition and a configuration of the liquid ejection head.
