Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a liquid discharge cartridge capable of preventing a color shift, a liquid discharger, and a liquid discharge method. SOLUTION: In printing, the liquid discharge cartridge makes a paper holding roller 44 abut on an ink-droplet arrival surface of recording paper P which is carried up to a position to face an discharge surface 41. Thus, the deflection of the recording paper P to the side of the discharge surface 41 is suppressed, and the color shift can be prevented from being caused because ink i reaches the recording paper P bent in a thickness direction.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an inkjet head capable of preventing a malfunction due to a heat from occurring by adequately radiating the heat.
SOLUTION: In a line head 35, ink is supplied to an ink channel 331 from an ink tank section 32 through an ink supply pipe 336 and a driving current is applied to a heating element 321 from a circuit on a printed board 360 through a terminal plate B 341 and a golden wire 342. In a nozzle applied with the current, a heating element 321 heats, a bubble is created on the surface of the heating element 321, and then ink having a volume roughly equal to that of the bubble is ejected from an ink ejection hole 311. While the heat by a heater chip 322 is accumulated a good deal by successive printing, as a fluid passage plate 330 made of an aluminum alloy is bonded to the heater chip 322, the heat generated on the heater chip 322 is efficiently radiated by the channel plate 330 so that it is possible to prevent a malfunction due to abnormal rising of the temperature from occurring.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To easily improve the processing accuracy of an ink ejecting part, reduce change in the ink droplet ejection amount, the ejection angle, or the like derived from dust introduction to the ink, and to prevent deterioration of the ink supply speed to the ink ejecting part. SOLUTION: An ink ejecting unit comprises a plurality of energy generating means 13 provided on a substrate member 11, an ink liquid chamber for pressuring an ink by the energy generated by the energy generating means 13, and a nozzle having an ejection opening for ejecting the ink pressured in the ink liquid chamber. The internal space of the nozzle 17 serves also as the ink liquid chamber without the need of forming an ink liquid chamber independently by disposing a nozzle 17 above the energy generating means 13, and providing the opening surface on the energy generating means 13 side of the nozzle 17 as an ink inlet opening 17b and the opening surface on the other side as an ink ejecting opening 17a.
