Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

To minimize any decrease in image quality, even in an instance in which there is a displacement in a landing position of a fluid in a region in which nozzle rows overlap, (A) a fluid-ejecting device including: a first nozzle column; (B) a second nozzle column, the second nozzle column being arranged so as to form an overlapping region; and (C) a control part for causing the fluid to be ejected so that in each of a plurality of raster lines arranged in a row in the predetermined direction in the overlapping region, dots to be formed are apportioned between the first nozzles and the second nozzles; the control part causing the fluid to be ejected so that there are produced.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A fluid-ejecting device comprising: a first nozzle column in which first nozzles configured to eject a fluid are arranged in a predetermined direction; and a second nozzle column in which second nozzles configured to eject a fluid are arranged in the predetermined direction, the second nozzle column being arranged so as to form an overlapping region in which an end part on one side in the predetermined direction is superimposed over an end part of the firs…
