An object is to provide a liquid storage unit capable of suppressing damage to a gusset portion. The liquid storage unit has a liquid storage portion internally storing liquid, a gusset portion formed along the liquid storage portion and at which a lateral face unit of the liquid storage portion is folded toward the inside of the liquid storage portion, and a stopper unit configured to suppress a bend likely to occur at the gusset portion by coming into contact with another part.

Liquid storage unit and liquid ejection apparatus

There are provided a landing position measuring apparatus and a landing position measuring method capable of achieving normal evaluation or inspection without any erroneous recognition of a printed pattern. For this purpose, black pixels within a limitation area are regarded as ink ejected from one ejection port, followed by processing.

Landing position measuring apparatus and landing position measuring method

A liquid ejection recording head includes a recording element substrate including an ejection energy generation element and a plurality of electrode pads, the ejection energy generation element being configured to generate ejection energy by which to eject a liquid, the liquid ejection recording head also includes an electric wiring substrate including a plurality of lead electrodes connected to corresponding electrode pads to apply an electric signal to the ejection energy generation element, wherein one or more of the plurality of electrode pads are not connected to any lead electrode, and each lead electrode connected to an electrode pad adjacent to any of the one or more of the plurality of electrode pads not connected to any lead electrode has a wide part whose width is greater than the width of the other lead electrodes.

Liquid ejection recording head

An ink jet recording head includes a recording element substrate having an energy generating member for generating energy in accordance with an electric signal, and an electrode portion for receiving the electric signal to be supplied to the energy generating member; an electric line member including an opening in which the recording element substrate is contained, an electric line extending toward an inside of the opening and connected to the electrode portion, an inclined electric wiring extending in a direction crossing with the electric line and contacted to the recording element substrate. The electric line member is disposed above a surface, having the electrode, of the recording element substrate, wherein the inclined member extends in a direction of an arrangement of a plurality of such electric lines, and constitutes an inclined surface descending from the electric wiring toward the surface of the recording element substrate.

Ink jet recording head

The present invention provides an ink jet print head that enables an optimum resistance value to be set for a heating resistor that generates ink ejection energy to allow high-quality images to be printed, as well as a method for manufacturing the ink jet print head. Heating resistors with sheet resistance values differing from each other are formed on the same substrate by heating resistant layers.

Ink jet print head and method for manufacturing ink jet print head

A method of manufacturing an ink jet print head allows an adhesive bonding a printing element substrate to a support member to be temporarily hardened efficiently and stably in a short time so as to achieve bonding with no air path or the like created at a bonding interface. Electrothermal transducing elements in the printing element substrate generate heat to temporarily harden the adhesive.
