A shingling printing method and an inkjet image forming apparatus. The shingling printing method includes feeding the paper in a forward direction and performing a printing operation, feeding the paper in a reverse direction, moving the inkjet head in a main scanning direction, and repeatedly performing each of the operations of feeding the paper in the forward direction and the performing the printing operation, feeding the paper in the reverse direction, and moving the inkjet head in the main scanning direction 'n' times and performing a final printing operation. The inkjet image forming apparatus includes an inkjet head having nozzles arranged along a main scanning direction to print an image by ejecting ink onto a recording medium and installed to make a reciprocating motion in the main scanning direction, a recording medium feeding unit having a feeding roller and a recording medium discharging roller to feed and discharge the recording medium , a head moving unit to move the inkjet head in the main scanning direction, and a controller to control the recording medium feeding unit so that the recording medium is fed in the forward direction and then in the reverse direction, and to control the head moving unit so that the inkjet head is moved in the main scanning direction when the recording medium is moved in the reverse direction. |
