Liquid discharge apparatus

A liquid discharge apparatus which discharges a liquid in each of a plurality of continuing discharge opportunities, the liquid discharge apparatus comprising:

• a liquid discharge head which discharges the liquid from a plurality of nozzles;
• a controller which controls the liquid discharge head to discharge the liquid from the plurality of nozzles;
• a duty detecting section which detects a value of a duty which is a ratio of a discharge amount of the liquid discharged from the liquid discharge head with respect to a maximum discharge amount of the liquid to be discharged from the liquid discharge head in each of the discharge opportunities;
• and
• a wait time determining section which determines a wait time, in which the liquid is not discharged, to be a first wait time or a second wait time which is not shorter than zero and shorter than the first wait time after each of the discharge opportunities,
• wherein:
• the wait time determining section determines the wait time to be the first wait time or the second wait time based on the values of the duties which are detected by the duty detecting section in past continuing discharge opportunities including the last discharge opportunity;
• and
• the controller controls the liquid discharge head to wait for the wait time determined by the wait time determining section after the last discharge opportunity when the wait time determining section determines the wait time.
