Abstract

The present invention provides a liquid ejecting head which inhibits the possible generation of satellites and possible inappropriate ejection during liquid ejection, enabling printing with improved image quality and reliability. Thus, ejection openings in the liquid ejecting head each selectively have projections or a circular shape depending on the characteristics of a liquid to be ejected.

Claims (5)

1. A liquid ejection head comprising:

a first ejection opening column comprising a plurality of first ejection openings ejecting a first liquid,

a second ejection opening column comprising a plurality of second ejection openings ejecting a second liquid different from the first liquid,

wherein the plurality of first ejection openings are circular and the plurality of second ejection openings have two mutually opposing and inwardly extending projections and two semicircular parts.

2. The liquid ejection head according to claim 1 , further comprising a third ejection opening column comprising a plurality of third ejection openings ejecting a third liquid that is different from the first liquid and the second liquid, wherein the plurality of third ejection openings have two mutually opposing and inwardly extending projections that are longer than the projections of the second ejection openings.
