Abstract: An inkjet print head includes a jet assembly, a printed-circuit board and a barrier coating film. The jet assembly includes a nozzle plate including a jet orifice in a lower surface of the nozzle plate and through which ink is discharged, and an ink transfer pathway inside nozzle plate. The printed-circuit board is combined with the jet assembly. The printed-circuit board includes an integrated circuit and a connection electrode. The barrier coating film includes organic material, a flexible layer and a hydrophobic layer. The barrier coating film covers an inner and an outer surface of the jet assembly, and an outer surface of the printed-circuit board. The barrier coating film exposes the lower surface of the nozzle plate and an outer surface of the connection electrode.

Abstract: A relief print master is created by a printhead that jets droplets of a polymerisable liquid on a cylindrical sleeve. The droplets follow a spiral path on the cylindrical sleeve. In a multiple printhead unit, there are different spiral paths associated with the different constituting printheads. The distance between these spiral paths is not even in a prior art system. By rotating the printhead under a specific angle, the distance between these spiral paths becomes even. The invention can also be used for the creation of other types of print plates, such as for example offset print plates.
