Abstract

An ink supply communication path is formed so that one end thereof is arranged outside a region confronting a pressure producing chamber at a region confronting a reservoir chamber; and an ink supply constricted port is arranged at a portion of the ink supply communication path, the portion being remotest from the pressure producing chamber. Since the pressure producing chamber is connected to the ink supply constricted port through the elongated ink supply communication path, a jet flow from the ink supply constricted port grows into a large flow along the ink supply communication path, which in turn allows air bubbles susceptible to stagnation in the vicinity of the ink supply constricted port to be discharged by such large flow.
