A method for controlling an inkjet printing apparatus which can prevent nozzle discharge defects in all nozzles and is excellent in production efficiency is provided. The present invention lies in a method for controlling an inkjet printing apparatus performing printing to an elongated printing medium 11, the inkjet printing apparatus being provided with a printing head 10 having a plurality of nozzles composed of an opening portion 21 from which ink is discharged, an ink chamber 22 communicating with the opening portion 21 to accommodate ink, and a piezoelectric element 23 attached to the ink chamber 22 via a vibrating plate 24, and the method having a discharging step of performing continuous application to the piezoelectric element 23 of a nozzle to be used with a pulse number of two or more waves per one printing element to deform the piezoelectric element, thereby discharge ink in the ink chamber 22 from the opening portion 21, and a vibrating step of performing application to the piezoelectric elements 23 of all the nozzles with a pulse number of one wave per one printing element to deform the piezoelectric elements, thereby imparting only vibrations to the inks in the ink chambers 22 without discharging the inks , where the discharging step and the vibrating step are performed alternately. |
