Abstract

An ink jet printing head for effecting printing by ejection of ink includes a first electrothermal transducer having a heat generating resistor with a first area and wiring electrically connected with the heat generating resistor; a second electrothermal transducer having a second heat generating resistor with an area which is different from the area of the first heat generating resistor; wherein bubbles are produced in ink materials upon application of electric signals to the electrothermal transducers, by which different volumes of ink materials are ejected; wherein the first and second electrothermal transducers have substantially the same bubble production threshold voltage.
