An ejection rate measurement method for a device having a plurality of droplet ejection head columns mounted on a plurality of carriages includes the steps of (a) measuring an ejection rate of a liquid ejected from a droplet ejection head included in one of the plurality of droplet ejection head columns sandwiched between other two of the plurality of droplet ejection head columns, (b) sandwiching, after step (a), one of the plurality of droplet ejection head columns, which has not been sandwiched between other two of the plurality of droplet ejection head columns in step (a), between other two of the plurality of droplet ejection head columns, and (c) measuring an ejection rate of a liquid ejected from a droplet ejection head included in one of the plurality of droplet ejection head columns sandwiched between other two of the plurality of droplet ejection head columns in step (b).
