When printing on the same printing object with multiple print nozzles in the past, consideration was not given to cases in which the time relationships of the set times and times-to-be-printed become mismatched between the respective print items of the print nozzles. To solve this problem, an inkjet printer that prints on a conveyed printing object and has multiple print nozzles, multiple auxiliary control units for controlling the printing performed by the multiple print nozzles, and a common main control unit connected to the multiple auxiliary control units via communication unit is provided. The main control unit extracts the time relationship of the set times and the time relationship of the times-to-be-printed between the items to be printed by the respective print nozzles of the multiple print nozzles and revises the print data so as to preserve the time relationship of the set times.

A recording apparatus is provided with a droplet discharging head having a nozzle forming portion and a charging unit. The nozzle forming portion includes nozzles formed therein. The charging unit is configured to impart an electrical charge to the medium. The charging unit imparts, to the medium, an electrical charge having the same polarity as an electrically charged state of the nozzle forming portion after the droplets are discharged.

A liquid ejecting apparatus which ejects liquid onto a medium includes a carriage which includes a control substrate configuring at least a part of a control unit which controls driving of the entire liquid ejecting apparatus, an ejecting unit which ejects the liquid, and a driving substrate which is connected to the control substrate and the ejecting unit, and drives the ejecting unit, in which the carriage is provided with a load absorbing unit which absorbs a physical load with respect to the ejecting unit from the driving substrate side. By adopting the liquid ejecting apparatus with such a configuration, it is possible to prevent a load from being applied to the ejecting unit from the driving substrate side.
