Abstract

An ink jet recording method and ink jet recording apparatus used for recording in the method. The ink jet recording apparatus has an ink jet head which is provided with a plurality of elemental substrates having a plurality of discharge energy generating elements arranged in a line. The substrates are arranged in the direction of the line. The method includes selecting blocks of discharge energy generating elements to be ready for driving one after another continuously and causing the position to start the driving cycle for the discharge energy generating elements to be at a center portion of each of the elemental substrates away from respective seamed portions between the elemental substrates.
