Abstract

See full text

A liquid discharging device discharges a liquid onto a recording medium for image formation, and includes head modules each including a nozzle array that discharges a liquid of at least one color, the head modules being connected in a direction of the nozzle array from one of the head modules, the one supported by a guide extending in a main-scanning direction; and processing circuitry functioning as an acquirer that acquires image data based on which the image is formed, and an allocator that allocates, to dots of the image data, a row of liquid droplets discharged from one of the head modules closest to the guide in a sub-scanning direction, such that the liquid droplets discharged from the head module closest to the guide are equal to or higher in ratio than the liquid droplets discharged from each head module other than the head module closest to the guide.
