An ink-jet head includes pressure chambers arranged in a row in a
row-direction, and a manifold flow passage communicated with the pressure
chambers and extending in the row-direction. An ink inflow port is formed
at one end of the manifold flow passage. The manifold flow passage has a
main portion, a connecting portion, and an extended portion which are
arranged in this order from a side close to the ink inflow port. The
manifold flow passage is communicated with the pressure chambers at the
main portion. The main portion has a constant cross-sectional area
greater than that of the connecting portion. A cross-sectional area of
the extended portion is greater than that of the connecting portion. The
pressure wave, generated in the pressure chamber and propagated to the
manifold flow passage, can be efficiently attenuated by the manifold flow
passage constructed as described above.
