A liquid ejection head including a reusable nozzle cap and head cap unit that prevents ink from leaking during transport and storage. When the liquid ejection head is in use, the nozzle cap can be readily detached from the liquid ejection head without damaging an ejection surface of a nozzle sheet from which ink is ejected. The liquid ejection head can also be used with a large nozzle sheet. The nozzle cap is incorporated in the liquid ejection head that ejects ink in an ink reservoir through nozzles in the nozzle sheet. Stoppers are disposed below the ejection surface of the nozzle sheet to cover the nozzles, thereby preventing ink from leaking. The stoppers are composed of a resilient material that does not adhere to the nozzle sheet and that inhibits ink from passing therethrough.
