A method for driving an ink jet print head is here disclosed which is characterized by comprising the steps of carrying out printing, while a print head (1) is moved one dot at a time by 4 dots of each nozzle (2) in the print head (1) in one print scanning direction in one print line on a print paper; further repeating the printing operation 4 times in the one direction in this print line; carrying out printing, while the print head (1) is moved one dot at a time by 4 dots in another print scanning direction; further repeating the printing operation 4 times in the other direction in this print line; and then terminating one reciprocating motion of the print head (1) in the print scanning direction at a point when the print head (1) has returned to a print motion starting point. The method of the present invention permits preventing the disorder of print and the introduction of bubbles into the ink, decreasing cost, improving productivity, obtaining a high-quality print even by the use of a relatively low-density head, and smoothing a shuttle motion.
