Abstract: The degree of thickening of ink for each of nozzles based on dot pattern data is calculated based on a thickening value Z (n+1)=Z (n)×a×bss×bmm×bll, and information the dot pattern data corresponding to the nozzle, which indicates that small dots are formed in when the thickening value is equal to or greater than a threshold is replaced with information indicating that middle dots which are larger than the small dots are formed. On the other hand, in a case where the thickening value is returned to be smaller than the threshold (a previous state) when after the thickening value becomes equal to or greater than the threshold, information of the dot pattern data corresponding to the nozzle, which indicates that the small dots are formed is maintained as it is without being replaced.

Abstract: When a length of a central axis direction of a straight part is L [?m], and a floating speed of a bubble set according to a diameter d of a nozzle, a density ? of ink, and the diameter r of the bubble is Vr [?m/s], a flushing process is performed by driving an actuator with a flushing pulse within (L+5)/Vr [s] after a nozzle surface is wiped with a wiper so as to perform an ejecting operation. The flushing pulse in the flushing process is preferably a driving waveform which does not actively draw a meniscus in the nozzle toward a pressure chamber side from the initial position, and makes the ink be ejected from the nozzle by extruding the meniscus toward an ejecting side.
