An inkjet printing apparatus includes a tank in which ink is contained; a print head for ejecting ink supplied from the tank to perform print operation; a supply flow path for supplying ink from the tank to the print head; a collection flow path for collecting ink from the print head to the tank; and a pump provided in the supply flow path or the collection flow path. The pump is driven, during print operation, at a first speed to circulate ink within a circulation path including the tank, the supply flow path, the print head, and the collection flow path, and the pump is driven, from a start of the ink circulation until a lapse of predetermined time period, at a second speed which is faster than the first speed.

There is provided a liquid ejecting head including: first and second nozzle rows extending in a first direction; a first supply flow path; a first filter chamber having a first inlet; and a second filter chamber having a second inlet, in which the first and second nozzle rows are shifted from each other in both the first direction and a second direction orthogonal to the first direction, the first supply flow path has a branch flow path for distributing the liquid between the first filter chamber and the second filter chamber at a branch position, the branch position is disposed between the first filter chamber and the second filter chamber in a plan view, and the first and second inlets are disposed at a part where the first filter chamber and the second filter chamber overlap each other when viewed in the second direction.

An object is to provide a liquid ejection apparatus and a method of controlling a liquid ejection apparatus capable of preventing bubbles generated by kogation removal from interfering with the kogation removal. To this end, in a long liquid ejection head with a liquid circulated therethough, a pressure chamber is pressurized and a voltage is applied to a heat applying portion and an electrode to perform kogation removing cleaning.

In one example, a vent includes multiple parts each having a different resistivity to passing a gas. The parts are arranged so that the gas may pass through all parts simultaneously as long as the parts remain permeable to the gas.

The present disclosure is drawn to an ink supply tank for a printer. The ink supply tank includes a main chamber to supply a printer with ink. The main chamber includes a fill port to receive ink during filling and an exchange port to release the ink. A chamber separator device is configured with a fill surface and a vent port. An overflow chamber can be configured with a vent to pass air into the overflow chamber, a first portion of air in the overflow chamber passes through the vent port of the chamber separator device to a feeder chamber to replace a second portion of ink leaving the ink supply tank to feed a print head and the vent port of the chamber separator device to pass a third portion of ink and a second portion of air from the feeder chamber to the overflow chamber.
