2. Description of the Related Art Ink-jet printers are of the type in which bubbles are generated in an ink tank in a nozzle head and the ink is ejected by a firing force, or electrodes are provided opposite a nozzle head having nozzles. Then, there is a type in which static electricity is generated from a nozzle to an electrode, and ink is ejected by the suction force. The latter has an advantage that the ink ejection shape is narrowed down to a conical shape by static electricity, so that details can be printed clearly. In order to ensure a clear ink ejection path by electrostatic suction for clearer and more reliable printing, it is necessary that the path of generation of static electricity from the nozzle tip to the electrode be narrowed. Therefore, it is effective to make the tip of the nozzle protrude from the nozzle head toward the counter electrode.

However, it is difficult to actually provide such a projection at the tip of the nozzle. The method used conventionally is to apply a corrosion resistant plating to a resin-molded nozzle head in which a mold hole of a nozzle up to a protrusion at the tip is formed, and to polish the surface of the nozzle tip side, thereby plating the surface. After removal, the resin is immersed in an organic solvent to dissolve the resin to a certain thickness, leaving the plated part at the tip in a form protruding from the nozzle head. It is difficult to measure the degree of dissolution, and the dissolution does not proceed evenly, which may cause unevenness on the nozzle head surface after dissolution. If there is a nozzle manufacturing method capable of forming such a protrusion at the tip of a nozzle easily, accurately, quickly and at low cost, an ink jet printer with excellent printing accuracy at low cost can be provided.
