Ink jet print head

An ink jet print head comprising:

• a printing element substrate which has printing elements producing energy for ink ejection, the printing elements being arrayed in a longitudinal direction, the printing element substrate having two main surfaces, with a bonding plane disposed on one main surface and the printing elements being disposed on the other, opposite main surface;
• a supporting member having a support surface thereof on which to support said printing element substrate, a supply path for supplying ink to said printing element substrate, and raised portions having flat top surfaces being provided on a part of the support surface, the supply path having two longitudinal sides extending parallel to the longitudinal direction and two end sides extending in a short-side direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction and connecting the two longitudinal sides, the raised portions being provided along a portion of, but not along the entirety of, at least one of the two longitudinal sides of the supply path and being not provided along either of the two end sides of the supply path;
• and
• an adhesive to bond said printing element substrate and said supporting member by being present between 1) the bonding plane of said printing element substrate and 2) the support surface,
• wherein a thickness of said adhesive between the flat top surfaces of the raised portions and the bonding plane of said printing element substrate is less than a thickness of said adhesive between the support surface, other than at the parts of the support surface on which the raised portions are provided, and the bonding plane of said printing element substrate.
