Abstract
A liquid ejecting apparatus that includes a nozzle column configured to eject liquid cured by receiving irradiation of light, an irradiation section, and a controller that controls the nozzle column and the irradiation. The controller operates the liquid ejecting apparatus in a first print mode or a second print mode, the second print mode having an image quality lower than the first print mode. During the first print mode first dots are formed using a first nozzle region of the nozzle column and irradiated with light within a predetermined range. During the second print mode, second dots are formed using a second nozzle region of the nozzle column, the second nozzle region having a greater number of nozzles than that of the first nozzle region, and then irradiated with light within a range larger than the predetermined range.
