1. A liquid ejecting device, comprising:
an ejecting unit configured to eject liquid onto a medium transported by a transport unit to form an image;
a hole forming unit configured to form a plurality of through holes, arranged in a width direction intersecting a transport direction of the medium; and
a control unit configured to control an ejection amount of the liquid per unit area based on image data, wherein
the control unit divides a region in the medium in which an image is formed based on the image data into a first region not including the plurality of through holes, and a second region including the plurality of through holes, and controls an ejection amount of the liquid from the ejecting unit, so that a second ejection amount per unit area when an image is formed in the second region is less than a first ejection amount per unit area when an image is formed in the first region.
