First, when attempting to obtain a plurality of micropores with a diameter of 30 μm, a wire 1 with a wire diameter of 30 μm is prepared. Although various materials can be used for the wire 1, for example, copper wire is used. Such a wire 1 is stretched and fixed in a straight line to an electroforming jig (not shown in the figure), and electroformed to form a considerably thick electroformed layer 2 around the wire 1. Although nickel sulfamate baths, Watt baths, nickel borofluoride baths, total nickel chloride baths, etc. are known for the electroformed layer at this time, in this example, a nickel sulfamate bath was used. That is, the sulfamic acid bath composition is nickel sulfamate 4009/11.

'' is used for electroforming. In this way, an electroformed layer 3 is obtained in which an electroformed layer 2 of nickel containing a wire 1 made of a copper wire in the center is formed. This electroformed layer 3 In the finished state, the i5 wire 1 is not necessarily located at the center, but if the outer circumferential surface centered on the wire 1 is outside the required dimension, the electroformed layer 3 A spindle 4 is set with the wire rod 1 portions on both end faces of - as the center, and the outer periphery is machined using a turning tool 5 so that the wire rod 1 is positioned at the center point.

Therefore, a very large number of chips 7 are formed from one electroformed rod 3. A spherical recess 8 is formed on one surface of the chip 7 by polishing. This spherical recess 8 is necessary when the head is used as a head for an instant jet plotter, and there is no need to form the spherical recess 8 when the head is not used in this manner. However, this spherical recess 8
The radius of curvature of is 0.7R, and the thickness dimension 1 of the remaining portion of the wire 1 is 0.03 m1. After the chip 7 including the wire rod 1 is formed in this manner, any one of the following orders of steps is selectively adopted for forming the final product. First, a flat reinforcing plate 9 made of a stainless steel plate or the like is provided as a head plate, and one side of this reinforcing plate 9 has the required pitch, a diameter of 211 mm and a depth of 0.211 mm! A plurality of recesses 10 are formed.

A through hole 11 is formed at the center of each of the recesses 10 . The chip 7 is fitted into the recess 10 of such a reinforcing plate 9 with the spherical recess 8 facing inward, and fixed by adhesive or diffusion bonding. In the case of bonding, it is desirable to use an epoxy resin adhesive, and in the case of diffusion bonding, the electroformed layer 2 is made of nickel and the reinforcing plate 9 is made of SUS3O4.

The wire rod 1' is immersed in a hot sodium cyanide solution at ~50° C. and is dissolved and removed using ultrasonic waves.
As a result, micropores 12 having the same diameter and shape as the wire rod 1 are formed. The pitch of the fine holes 12 thus formed is determined by the accuracy of the machining process for forming the recess 10, and the accuracy is maintained by increasing the machining accuracy. Next, to explain the other process order, the reinforcing plate 9 itself is formed in advance as described above, but after forming the chip 7 including the wire rod 1, the wire rod 1 is formed at the stage of the chip 7. is removed to form micropores 12.

The wire 1 is removed by immersing it in a hot sodium cyanide solution at 40 to 50 DEG C. and using ultrasonic waves as described above. The chips 7 in which the fine holes 12 have been formed are respectively fitted into the recesses 10 and fixed by adhesion or diffusion bonding as described above. The thus obtained reinforcing plate 9 to which the chips 7 are fixed is used as a multi-nozzle head and connected to an ink supply section etc. to complete the quick jet plotter. Since these correspond to the wire rod 1, their hole diameters, roundness, cylindricity, coaxiality, etc. are uniform, and the ink ejection characteristics from each fine hole 12 are the same. The present invention forms a plurality of fine particles by forming an electroformed layer around the wire as described above, cutting it to form chips, fixing these chips to a reinforcing plate, and then removing the wire. By forming the holes or by removing the wire in the chip state and then fixing it to the reinforcing plate, it is possible to form a head plate with multiple fine holes at an accurate pitch in a simple process. Since each micropore matches the wire, its diameter, roundness, and cylindricity are highly accurate and uniform for all micropores, which makes the liquid jetting characteristics consistent. Furthermore, since the material of the chip is an electroformed layer, it has the advantage of being extremely durable.
