Abstract
A apparatus including a head unit that includes first nozzles which eject a first liquid, second nozzles which eject a second liquid, third nozzles which eject a third liquid; and a control unit that controls driving of the head unit, in which, when an amount of the first liquid to be ejected from the first nozzles in order to form an image on the medium is a first ejection amount and an ejection state of the liquid ejected from the first nozzles is abnormal, the control unit increases the amount of the second liquid ejected from the second nozzles by a second ejection amount which is smaller than the first ejection amount and increases the amount of the third liquid ejected from the third nozzles by a third ejection amount which is smaller than the first ejection amount instead of allowing the first nozzles to eject the first liquid.
