Abstract: A liquid ejection apparatus includes: a conveying mechanism, a first head for ejecting a first liquid; a second head for ejecting a second liquid for coagulating or precipitating components of the first liquid, and a controller. A pair of second ejection openings of the second head are arranged side by side. The second liquid is to be ejected respectively from the pair of second ejection openings at different timings onto a pair of unit areas arranged side by side. The controller controls the second head so as to reduce an amount of the second liquid ejected from at least one of the pair of second ejection openings, when an amount of the second liquid to be ejected from one of the pair of second ejection openings at an earlier one of the different timings is equal to or larger than a first predetermined value.

Abstract: An image data processing device processes image data. The image data processing device includes an image data storing unit, a correction data producing unit, and an image density value addition unit. The image density value is either a first density value that is greater than or equal to a prescribed value or a second density value that is less than the prescribed value. The ink droplet is ejected on the first subject pixel whereas the ink droplet is unejected on the second subject pixel. The correction data producing unit produces correction data including a plurality of correction density values. The image density value addition unit adds the correction density value to the second density value of the corresponding pixel. The correction data producing unit produces a first correction density value and a second correction density value as the correction density value.
