1. A droplet ejection apparatus, comprising:
an image-data storage section configured to store image data based on which an image is formed on a recording medium; a droplet ejection head configured to eject droplets of a liquid to form, on the recording medium, the image based on the image data stored in the image-data storage section; a post-processing mechanism configured to perform drying processing and curl correction processing by a common processing technique, on the recording medium on which the image based on the image data has been formed by the droplet ejection head; a discharged-sheet supporting portion configured to support the recording medium on which the drying processing and the curl correction processing have been performed by the post-processing mechanism; and a controller configured to:
calculate, on the basis of the image data, a liquid ejection amount that is an amount of the liquid ejected from the droplet ejection head, for each of a plurality of evaluation regions defined on the recording medium;determine a first processing amount that is a control amount of the post-processing mechanism required for the drying processing, on the basis of a maximum one of the liquid ejection amounts of the respective evaluation regions;determine, for each of the plurality of evaluation regions, a second processing amount that is a control amount of the post-processing mechanism required for the curl correction processing, on the basis of the liquid ejection amount and a position of the evaluation region on the recording medium; andcontrol the post-processing mechanism to perform the drying processing and the curl correction processing on the recording medium according to a maximum control amount of the post-processing mechanism among the first processing amount and the second processing amounts of the respective evaluation regions. |
