ABSTRACT:
Inkjet heads and methods of fabricating and exchanging the same. The inkjet head includes a substrate having a liquid supply hole; a nozzle plate disposed on an upper surface and provided with a nozzle hole to eject the liquid; a fluid channel forming layer disposed between the substrate and the nozzle plate and providing a chamber and a fluid channel to connect the chamber and the liquid supply hole; a heat-generating body disposed at the chamber to generate energy to eject the liquid; and a filler filled in the fluid channel to prevent air from being introduced into the fluid channel and allowed to cause phase transition into liquid. When the fluid channel forming layer and the nozzle plate are disposed on the substrate to constitute the head, the gel is injected into the fluid channel in the fluid channel forming layer to prevent air from being introduced into the fluid channel. When the head is newly mounted on the inkjet cartridge to be changed, the filled gel is ejected by an inherent operation of the head to eject ink droplets by expanding bubbles, and the ink stored in the ink cartridge is introduced into the fluid channel to be initially filled in the head while ejecting the gel.
