A first liquid supply port and a second liquid supply port are positioned at ends of the plurality of liquid supply ports in a first direction. Outer periphery of the liquid introduction inlet includes one end section and another end section in the first direction. The one end section is closer to the first liquid supply port than the second liquid supply port. The liquid includes a first liquid with a high content of pigment, and a second liquid with a lower content of pigment.
