An ink jet printing method is disclosed wherein an ink jet print head and an ink jet ink are provided. The ink jet print head has an ink channel and electrically actuable means to eject a number of successive droplets (d1,d2). The method includes the steps of (i) applying a number of successive electrical drive signals to the electrically actuable means, each electrical drive signal for ejecting a corresponding droplet, each electrical drive signal inducing in the ink channel an underpressure pulse (51 2 ) followed by a pressure pulse (52 2 ) for ejecting the corresponding droplet and each electrical drive signal is unipolar and of the same polarity; (ii) after applying the last electrical drive signal for ejecting the last droplet of a maximum number of successive droplets, applying a electrical cancel signal for reducing residual acoustic pressure waves in the ink channel. The electrical cancel signal induces in the ink channel an underpressure pulse (51 c ),and a pressure pulse (52 c ), and at least one of the underpressure pulse or the pressure pulse is applied in antiresonance with the pressure pulse of the last electrical drive signal.
