An inkjet printer having a wide array head and an image forming method for use in the inkjet printer having the wide array head includes a nozzle group setting unit for grouping nozzles of the wide array head into N (N is an integer larger than 1) groups and grouping the N groups into K groups (K is an integer between 1 and N); a printing media sensing unit determining whether a rear edge of a current printing medium passes the nozzles of one of the K groups; and a printing media convey controller conveying a front edge of a next printing medium to the nozzles of the group K if the rear edge of the current printing medium passes the nozzles of the one of the K groups. Therefore, the nozzles of the wide array head are classified into groups, and the beginning and completion of the printing operation can be identified by the nozzle group unit, and thus, the printing can be performed at high speed.
