Abstract
An ink-jet recording apparatus that reduces degradation phenomena in a recording dignity, such as a staggered flying trajectory of an ink droplet caused by poor adhesion between an ink path and a substrate. The ink-jet apparatus includes, a first contacting surface, which enables the ink paths to contact a substrate. The first contacting surface is positioned at an incline relative to a second contacting surface. When a trenched top board is mounted on the substrate, which is fixed on a base plate, only a protrudent ridge, which is formed on an ejector N side of the contacting surface, contacts the substrate. When a pressurizing force is applied from an elastic member through a pressurizing member onto a portion to be pressurized, the contacting surface contacts uniformly with the substrate due to a deformation of the trenched top board.
