  • Nozzle plate for ink jet recording apparatus and method of preparing said nozzle plate
    Patent number: 6357857
    Abstract: The entire part of a rear surface 2 of a nozzle plate 1 excluding peripheral portions 6 of nozzle holes 4 is coated with a resist tape, and this nozzle plate 1 is immersed in an electrolytic solution in which ions of a metal and particles of a water-repellent resin are dispersed to provide a plating thereon, and the plated nozzle plate 1 in the electrolytic solution is then heated to a temperature that is higher than a melting point of the water-repellent resin, whereby an entire portion extending from a front surface 3 of the nozzle plate 1 and the nozzle holes 4 contiguous to the front surface to the rear surface 2 is provided with a eutectoid plating layer 10 to suppress deviation of the passage of ink droplets due to wetting by an ink or the like.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 6, 2000
    Date of Patent: March 19, 2002
    Inventors: Kiyohiko Takemoto, Miharu Yoshida, Shuichi Yayaguchi, Takeshi Kobayashi, Masanori Kamijo, Akio Yamamori
