Abstract:
The present invention provides a pressure regulating unit capable of applying a stable pressure so as to supply liquid, a liquid supplying apparatus, and a liquid ejecting apparatus. An ink communication path allows an ink introducing chamber communicating with an ink inlet and a pressure chamber communicating with an ink outlet to communicate with each other. A valve including a valve body and a valve seat adjusts the opening degree of the ink communication path. An urging member applies, to the valve, an urging force that acts in a direction in which the ink communication path is closed and increases according to an increase in pressure in the ink introducing chamber.

Abstract:
A liquid ejection head capable of more efficiently ejecting ink and an inkjet printing apparatus are provided. The liquid ejection head has a block member which surrounds at least a part of an effective bubble-generating region involved with heat generation in a heat-generating element and which is formed so as to protrude from the heat-generating element in a direction in which a liquid is ejected. The block member is arranged in a position where a distance of a position of an inner end part from an outer end part of the effective bubble-generating region is +2 μm or less, with an outward direction being set to be positive.
