Abstract

PURPOSE:To make it possible to use an electroconductive water ink so that satisfactory data printing is ensured by applying an organic polymer compound film to the surface of a plate-like member. CONSTITUTION:An organic polymer compound film 14 is formed on the surface of a plate-like member 3 having a nozzle aperture 4 for discharging a required number of ink droplets in the biaxial direction of a platen. The organic polymer compound is not necessarily defined but should preferably be such as resins of epoxy, polyester, acryl, polyimide, polyurethane, silicone, fluorine or polysulfone.
