Abstract
A method of reducing a curl of a recording medium caused by ejection of a liquid by a droplet ejecting apparatus to the medium including steps of calculating an ejected-liquid amount ejected onto an evaluation region defined on the medium and an ejected-liquid associated quantity which is an ejected-liquid-droplet number ejected to the evaluation region or an ejected-area associated quantity which is an area of unit regions to which the liquid is ejected; and a ratio of the area of the unit regions to an area of the evaluation region, and estimating a curl degree of the medium caused by ejection of the liquid thereto or a correction degree necessary for restraining the curl, based on a position of the evaluation region; and the calculated ejected-liquid amount and ejected-liquid associated quantity.
