20100188467Inkjet head and printing apparatus - An inkjet head is provided. The inkjet head includes an ink reservoir to store ink, an ink inlet, through which the ink is introduced to the ink reservoir, an ink outlet, through which the ink in the ink reservoir is allowed to flow to the inkjet nozzle. The ink reservoir has a wall arising from a bottom of the ink reservoir to divide the ink reservoir into a plurality of ink chambers. The plurality of ink chambers include a first ink chamber and a second ink chamber. The plurality of ink chambers are in fluid communication with each other over a top edge of the wall. The wall is formed to include a through hole, which is formed in a vicinity of the bottom of the ink reservoir and allows the plurality of ink chambers to be in fluid communication with each other.07-29-2010
