Ink jet head having ejection outlet with different openings angles and

Abstract

An ink jet head for effecting recording by selectively ejecting ink onto a recording material, includes an array of ejection outlets; a plurality of ink flow paths each having an ejection energy generating element for ejecting the ink, the ink flow paths being in fluid communication with ejection outlets; a common liquid chamber for supplying the ink to the a plurality of ink flow paths; wherein the plurality of the ejection energy generating elements are grouped into blocks of a predetermined number of ejection energy generating elements, and actuation timing for the ejection energy generating elements is deviated for each blocks; wherein the ejection outlets have different opening angles for respective blocks in a direction of reducing deviation of recording positions between respective blocks.
