Liquid ejecting apparatus and liquid ejecting method

A liquid ejecting apparatus comprising:

• a nozzle column in which a plurality of nozzles ejecting liquid cured by receiving the irradiation of light is arranged in a predetermined direction;
• an irradiation section that is disposed along the predetermined direction corresponding to the nozzle column and irradiates the light to dots formed on the medium by the nozzle column;
• and
• a controller that performs a first print mode or a second print mode having an image quality lower than that of the first print mode by performing control of ejecting of the liquid from the nozzle column,
• wherein at the time of the first print mode, the controller forms the dots using a first nozzle region of the nozzle column, where variation in quantity of the light is within a predetermined range, the light is irradiated from the irradiation section to the dots formed by the nozzles of the first nozzle region, and
• wherein at the time of the second print mode, the controller forms the dots using a second nozzle region of the nozzle column, where the variation in the quantity of the light is within a range larger than the predetermined range, the light is irradiated from the irradiation section to the dots formed by the nozzles of the second nozzle region having a greater number of nozzles than that of the first nozzle region.
