Abstract
A fluid ejecting apparatus repeats an ejecting operation which ejects a fluid from nozzles while a first nozzle row and a second nozzle row move in a movement direction with respect to a medium and a relative movement operation in which the first nozzle row, the second nozzle row and the medium relatively move to the nozzle row direction, and repeatedly performs the ejecting operation so as to include the ejecting operation which does not perform a control which changes the movement distance in the movement direction of the first nozzle row and the second nozzle row according to a position of an end in the movement direction of the image when a main image and a background image are formed to be overlapped on the medium at different ejecting operations.
Claims6
A fluid ejecting apparatus comprising:
- a first nozzle that ejects a first fluid;
- a second nozzle that ejects a second fluid;
- a control portion that performs an ejecting operation that moves the first nozzle and the second nozzle in a movement direction, and ejects the first fluid and the second fluid;
- and
- wherein, when a first image formed by the first fluid and a second image formed by the second fluid are formed overlapped on a medium, the control portion performs the ejecting operation including the ejecting operation which moves the first nozzle and the second nozzle not only to a printing range of the first image and the second image but also to a range in which the first image and the second image is not printing, in the movement direction.
A fluid ejecting method comprising:
- ejecting a first fluid from a first nozzle that;
- ejecting a second fluid from a second nozzle;
- performing an ejecting operation that moves the first nozzle and the second nozzle in a movement direction, and ejects the first fluid and the second fluid;
- and
- wherein, when a first image formed by the first fluid and a second image formed by the second fluid are formed overlapped on a medium, performing the ejecting operation including the ejecting operation which moves the first nozzle and the second nozzle not only to a printing range of the first image and the second image but also to a range in which the first image and the second image is not printing, in the movement direction.
