Abstract

An ink-jet head includes a nozzle array including plural nozzles. The nozzle array has a first nozzle group arranged in the center thereof and second nozzle groups arranged further on outer sides than the first nozzle group. Inter-nozzle pitches of the second nozzle groups are larger than inter-nozzle pitches of the first nozzle group. A direction in which nozzles of the second nozzle group eject an ink and a direction in which nozzles of the first nozzle group eject the ink are different.
