A liquid-droplet jetting apparatus such as an ink-jet printer makes a meniscus of an ink in a nozzle vibrate by applying a no-jetting drive pulse which does not jet the ink. An operation of outputting two no-jetting drive pulses in one cycle is repeated for 100 to 150, and then stopped for 100 to 150 cycles. A pulse width Tp of the no-jetting drive pulses, an interval Tw between two no-jetting drive pulses, and a time AL in which a pressure wave in an ink channel is propagated one way are set to be in a range 0.1 AL<=Tp<=0.2 AL, and 0.2 AL<=Tw<=4.5 AL. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent assuredly, thickening of a liquid such as an ink in the nozzle, and to reduce a generation of a defect in jetting of a liquid droplet.
