Description of the Invention (i) Γ-This case is US Patent Application No. 08 / 805,488, filed by Arun Agarwal on February 25, 1997, to reduce the orifice of the inkjet print head, 'Part of the continuous case This case is US Patent Application No. 08 / 547,885, filed by Weber on October 25, 1995. Non-circular printing head orifices, and part of the consecutive cases, 'The two cases are all assigned to the assignee of the present invention. people. [Background] In general, the present invention relates to a printing head of an inkjet printer, and more particularly to a printing head burr plate and a manufacturing method thereof, in which a plurality of related orifices are easily formed on the orifice plate. An inkjet printer forms characters and images by ejecting ink droplets in a controlled manner to land the ink droplets on a predetermined position on a medium such as paper. In its simplest form, this printer can be conceived as a mechanism that can move and position the media at a certain location so that ink droplets can land on the media, a print cartridge that controls ink flow and discharges ink droplets to the media , And proper control of hardware and software. The print cartridge of the inkjet printer that is printed by the staff of the Central Bureau of Standards of the Ministry of Economic Cooperation includes an ink containing area that stores and supplies ink as needed, and a print head that heats as instructed by the printer control software And eject ink. A typical printing head is a laminated structure including a semiconductor base layer, a barrier material structure formed in a honeycomb shape with ink flow channels, and an orifice plate with drilled holes or holes configured to allow ink droplets to be removed. The conventional inkjet printer has a variation of ten. The extrusion mechanism is composed of a plurality of heater resistors formed on a semiconductor substrate. The plurality of heater resistors are each associated with one of the ink ejection chambers formed in the barrier layer and One of the orifices of a plurality of orifice plates. Each of the heater resistors is connected to the printer's control software, so each of the resistors can be independently excited, and a portion of the ink can be quickly gasified. This paper size applies to China National Standard (CNS) A4 specifications (210X297). Long) The staff of the Central Standards Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs printed A7 ^, ', a · _____ Η 7 Cooperatives. V. Description of the invention (2), *' packets' were then ejected from the orifice. The ink flows into the ejection chamber formed in the barrier layer around each heater resistor and waits for the heater resistor to be excited. After the ejected ink droplets and ink bubbles collapse, the ink fills the ejection chamber to a half-moon and forms at the point across the orifice. The form and narrowness of the barrier channel through which the ink flows through this channel and then refills the ejection chamber can establish the speed of ink refilling the ejection chamber and the half-moon and half-dynamics of the ink. For further details on the construction of the printer, print card E, and printhead, refer to Hewlett-Packard Journal Vol. 36 No. 5 May 1985 and Hewlett-Packard Journal Vol. 45 No. 1 February 1994. The problem faced by print card E sx sf users is to maintain high print quality while achieving high print speed. When the droplets are squeezed out of the orifice due to the rapid boiling of the ink inside the ejection chamber, most of the ejected ink is concentrated in the droplets and is directed toward the medium. However, a small portion of the discharged ink remains at the end of the opening extending from the droplet to the surface of the orifice. This tail and the associated inkjet landing in the media may cause confusing printed images or text. The ejection problem can be solved by reducing the printing speed or by optimizing the structure or geometry of the ink ejection chamber and barrier-related ink inlet ducts. Orifice geometry also affects spraying. Refer to US Patent Application No. 08 / 608,923, filed by Weber et al., February 29, 1996, for asymmetric printing head orifices. "The conventional orifice plate manufacturing method is used in advance to prepare The electroless plating technology on the mandrel. An example of this mandrel is illustrated in Figure 1 (but not to scale), in which the substrate 101 has at least one flat surface made of silicon or glass. It is arranged on the flat surface of the substrate 101 The conductive layer 10 is usually a chromium or stainless steel film. A vacuum deposition method such as Ping® magnetron method can be used to deposit this conductive layer 103.

Description of the Invention (3) —; —--: The empty deposition method can be used to deposit the dielectric layer 105, which is typically nitride In the evening, a vacuum deposition method such as a plasma-assisted chemical vapor deposition method is provided. The dielectric layer 105 needs to be extremely thin, typically having a thickness of about 0.30 micrometers. The dielectric layer 105 is covered with a photoresist mask, exposed to ultraviolet light, and the introduction of an electropolymerization etching process, which removes most of the dielectric layer, but deducts the dielectric material at a preselected position on the conductive layer 103. Of course, these positions are determined in advance as the positions of the orifices of the orifice plate to be formed on the top of the mandrel. This reusable mandrel is placed in an electroforming bath in which the conductive layer 103 serves as the cathode and the base material is typically nickel as the anode. In the electroforming process, nickel metal is transferred from the anode to the cathode, and nickel (shown as layer 10 is attached to the conductive region of the conductive layer 103. Because the nickel metal plate is uniformly formed by the conductive plates of the mandrel, once When the surface of the electric button 105 arrives, nickel is plated on the dielectric layer in a uniform and predictable pattern. The plating method parameters include careful control of the plating time, so the nickel layer 1 formed on the dielectric layer button 105. 7 openings on the dielectric surface have a predetermined diameter (typically about 45 microns). Such diameters usually account for one-third to one-fifth of the diameter of the dielectric layer 105. This results in a nickel 107 top layer on the inner surface of the orifice 115 An opening with a diameter d2, the diameter d2 is about 3 to 5 times the opening diameter d 1 'the opening mentioned later is the opening of the outside 213 of the orifice plate. When the electroless deposit method is completed,' the newly formed orifice plate is removed from the mandrel and Gold plating to prevent corrosion of the orifices. For other instructions on the preparation of metal orifice plates, refer to U.S. Patents 4,733,971; 5,167,766; 5,443,713 and 5,560,837, each of which is assigned to the assignee of the present invention.

。典型此種改良係藉由延長墨水之再填裝通道,縮小墨水 之再填裝通道剖面,或加大墨水黏度達成。此種墨水再填 裝流體阻力增加經常導致再填裝時間減慢及小墨滴喷射速 率及列印速度減低。 半月形系統之簡化分析為例如第5圖所示之機械模式 ’其中相當於被排出小墨滴質量之質塊501藉彈簧505偶聯 至固定結構503 ’彈簧具有與孔口有效半徑之倒數成比例 之彈簧常數K。質塊501也藉阻尼功能507偶聯至固定結構

Invention Explanation (4), '~: whether the ink droplets (called “pixels”) are deposited on the print media and controlled. The brightness continuity-color transition within the recorded image is particularly affected by the use of ink droplets The unique quantified effects of dot matrix imaging. The imaging system also causes scattered or systematic brightness fluctuations commonly known as granularity, which can be identified by the naked eye. It is estimated that the unassisted human visual system can detect individual points until the image is printed. The diameter is reduced to less than or equal to about 20 to 25 microns. Therefore, the undesired quantification of the dot array printing method affects the current situation in the industry by reducing the size of each droplet and printing at high resolution.

Description of the invention (7) '~ Detailed description of the preferred specific examples The cross section of the conventional printing head is shown in Figure 2. The thin film resistor 201 is formed on a semiconductor substrate. The surface of the material 203 is typically connected to the power input by metallization (not shown) on the surface of the semiconductor substrate 203. In addition, multiple layers that can protect the chemical and mechanical supply are provided on the heater resistor 2. i, but not shown in Figure 2 for clarity. A layer of barrier material 205 is selectively placed on the surface of the silicon substrate 203 (or smaller) to flow to the opening or ink surrounding the heater resistor 201 The ejection chamber 207 can accumulate in the ejection chamber before the heater resistor 201 is excited and before the ink is ejected through the orifice 209. The barrier material of the barrier layer 205 is known as paracj or equivalent from DuPont. The orifice 209 extends from the inner surface 115 of the orifice plate to the outer surface 213 of the orifice plate 107, as described above. Shaped as the part of the orifice plate. Figure 3 is the top view of the conventional printing head (indicated by the section line AA in Figure 2) from the outside of the orifice plate 107 and the top view of the orifice 209 is viewed. A large ink source (not shown) is delivered to the ink ejection chamber at the barrier layer 205. The fourth circle example illustrates the ink configuration of a small ink droplet 401 at 22 microseconds after the ink is discharged from the orifice 209. It is known that in the orifice plate (in which a circular aperture is used), the small ink droplet 401 generates a long tail 403, which can be seen to extend backward to at least the orifice 209 of the orifice plate 107. The small ink droplet 401 leaves the orifice plate and discharges the small ink droplet. After the gasification of the ink bubbles collapses, the capillary force extracts the ink from the ink source through the ink feed channel 301. In an undamped system, the ink flushes back to the ejection chamber too quickly and overfills the ejection chamber 207, thereby generating a drum. The half-moon shape then swings in its horizontal position for several cycles before it subsides and calms down. The half-paper size is applied to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X297).

Description of the invention (8) Extra ink in the shape of a moon adds small ink droplets Volume, so the small ink droplets are discharged when the half-moon shape bulges. The retracted half-moon shape reduces the volume of the droplets, so part of the droplets are discharged during this period. The print head designer increases the fluid resistance of the ink to refill the channel to Improve and optimize the damping effect of the ink refilling and half-moon system. This type of improvement is typically achieved by extending the ink refilling channel, reducing the ink refilling channel profile, or increasing the ink viscosity. Such increased ink refill fluid resistance often results in slower refill times and reduced droplet ejection and print speeds. The simplified analysis of the half-moon system is, for example, the mechanical mode shown in FIG. 5 where the mass 501 equivalent to the mass of the ejected small ink droplets is coupled to the fixed structure 503 by the spring 505 'the spring has a reciprocal of the effective radius of the orifice Proportional spring constant K. The mass 501 is also coupled to the fixed structure 503 by a damping function 507, which is related to channel fluid resistance and other ink channel characteristics. In this configuration, the 'ink droplet weight mass 501 is proportional to the orifice diameter. In this way, if you want to control the characteristics and performance of the meniscus, you can adjust the damping factor of the damping function 507 by optimizing the ink channel or adjusting the spring constant of the spring 505 in the mechanical mode. When the droplet 401 is ejected from the orifice, most of the small droplet mass is contained at the leading end of the droplet 401, and the mass has the highest speed. The remaining tail 403 contains a small part of the ink and has a velocity distribution ranging from an equal velocity close to the position of the small ink droplet head to an ink velocity lower than the ink of the small ink droplet head and closest to the pores of the orifice. Occasionally during the droplet transition process, the tail ink stretches to the point where the tail breaks from the droplet. ”Part of the ink remaining in the tail is pulled back to the printing head orifice plate. 〇7 'Here it typically forms around the orifice Ink paste If this ink paste is not original & the scale is applicable to Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 Regulations (2 丨 0 parent 297 public expense) " ~-~ --- See: iT ------- -0 (筇 Please read the precautions on the back before filling in this page} ----- B7 V. Description of the invention, (9) The quality of the printing material is inferior due to the misdirection of the small ink droplets after being controlled. Others Part of the small ink droplet tail is absorbed into the small ink droplet head before the small ink droplet is deposited on the medium. Finally, part of the ink at the small ink droplet tail is neither returned to the printing head nor retained or absorbed in the small ink droplet. The fine mist smaller than the droplet spread in any direction. Part of the fine mist reaches the media during printing, causing the edges of the dots formed by the small ink droplets to be rough and creating undesired dots on the media, reducing the clarity of the printing material required. It is known that the exit area from the orifice 209 to the external environment determines the weight of the droplet discharged by the small ink droplet. The restoring force (constant K in the mode) that determines the half-moon shape is determined by the conditions near the edge of the pore. In order to increase the stiffness of the half-moon, the sides and openings of the boring hole must be as close as possible. Contradictory to the need to maintain the specific drop weight of the droplet (determined by the orifice exit area). The non-circular geometry provides greater return force on the heater resistor to make the droplet tail faster and closer to the orifice plate break, As a result, short ink droplets are generated and the spray phenomenon is significantly reduced. The non-circular orifices that can be used to reduce spraying by the Consumer Cooperatives of the Central Standards Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs can be used to reduce the number of non-circular orifices. The elongated orifices have a main axis and an auxiliary axis. "The main axis is larger than the auxiliary axis, and both axes are parallel to the outer surface of the orifice plate." This slender structure can be rectangular and parallelograms or printed shapes such as oval and parallel sides.

Description of the invention (10) ~: Boring hole size. Figure 6A illustrates the outer diameter r and the outer diameter A circular orifice with a dimension r and a radius ratio between the opening and the value of the injection chamber. In the HP51649A cassette, r = 17.5 microns and Γ2 = 45 microns. The pore area (r · π) of the outer surface of the orifice plate is thus obtained. = 962 square microns. The example in Figure 6B illustrates the pore geometry of the outer orifice of the ellipse, where the ratio of the major axis to the minor axis = 2: i. In order to maintain small droplets of equal weight, the area outside the orifice opening is maintained at 962 square microns. In this way, the major and minor axes (a, b) of the ellipse are obtained from the ellipse area formula (Α = 7Γ · a · b). For a 2: 1 ellipse, they are 28 5 microns and 12 4 microns. The main contributing factor to tail breaks and reduction of subsequent spraying is to reduce the minor axis size of the ellipse. In the range of the axial ratio of 2: i to about 5: i, it was observed that the spray phenomenon was reduced. A disadvantage also found in the foregoing is that the opening of the elliptical orifice surface on the inner surface of the orifice plate (to the ink ejection chamber) is relatively large. Such internal openings will overlap and interfere when the orifices are closely spaced to improve print resolution. This interference causes ink from an ejection chamber to be sprayed into the adjacent ejection chamber and other minor but harmful effects. In order to solve the interference problem, the ellipse is twisted in the main axis direction mainly to generate a crescent shape or a quarter crescent shape. This kind of crescent-shaped minor axis is retained while the effective major axis is shortened, while the total aperture pore area is kept constant. Using a crescent-shaped orifice opening can continue to achieve proper spray reduction. However, crescent shapes cause different problems with print quality using this type of print head. The trajectory leaving the orifice plate is not perpendicular to the orifice plate surface, but instead deviates from the direction of the negative curvature radius perpendicular to the orifice hole surface.

Description of the Invention (11) • The tooth-shaped and crescent-shaped limbs face away from each other, providing another symmetrical shape. An example of this shape is illustrated in FIG. The modified pore shape can be regarded as "hourglass" shape. In the preferred embodiment, the minor axis (bH) is modified to 26 micrometers and the major axis (aH) is modified to 69 micrometers. The radius of curvature (rH) defining the edge of the modified layshaft is about 47 microns. This unique orifice pore shape can maintain a narrow countershaft opening 'while reducing the main draw size required for a fixed orifice pore area. The reduction in the size of the main shaft can make the orifice spacing closer than that achieved by a circular shape with the same orifice pore area. In addition, the hourglass-shaped orifice can provide symmetry to the axis by the primary and secondary axes to overcome the problem of small droplet trajectory errors. As mentioned before, the conventional orifice plate is made of electroplated nickel or similar metal on a mandrel and then plated with a chemical resistant material such as gold. It was previously known to use non-conductive buckles in a shape with the desired final effect: circular orifice pores. However, in order to form an hourglass-shaped orifice opening, it was decided to use a knowledge that is much less complicated than an hourglass. During the plating of the orifice plate, the base metal grows uniformly from each available direction of the conductive surface (including its own surface), so the shape of the non-conductive buckle is hidden by the growing base metal. In the same way, it is known that the details of the shape can be transformed into completely different shapes as the remaining genus of the base grows. Consider again No. 1 圊, where the base metal 107 grows on the top surface of the non-conductive insulating buckle 105. When viewed in a plan view, the outer details of the buckle 105 can be hidden or transformed into other shapes as the base metal 107 grows on the top surface of the insulating buckle 105. It is found that the analysis technique using a circle with a diameter equal to a predetermined base metal growth can be placed on the same plane and tangent to the outer porch of the shape of the predetermined orifice. The points on the circumference opposite to the tangent point and sharing the same diameter line are joined to the circle group The similarity must show the shape of the non-conductive buckle. The alternative program is to make I paper scales suitable for financial institutions (CNS) & 4 Lin (21 {) x297Wj ----- ~--A7--______137 V. Description of the invention (12)-~~: Use the outer side of the starting shape All or representative points of the outline draw a radius arc. The endpoints of the radii of each arc (tangent lines drawn perpendicular to the starting contour points) are defined as points obtained from the shape of the orifice after the plating process is completed. Reference to Figure 8 will help to observe the techniques of using the round group. In Figure 8, the hourglass shape of the pores at the orifices is labeled 80i. A circle with a radius equal to a predetermined base metal growth is represented by circle 803. The non-conductive buckle profile is shown as 805. Each circle of the family circle is located at a point along the edge of the hourglass shape and is tangent to the shape of the hourglass orifice. Take the point directly across the diameter of each circle and join these points to obtain a non-conductive buckle shape. When dealing with more complex orifice shapes, it was found that the non-conductive shape need not be the same as the orifice shape. Looking at the extremities of the hourglass shape 801, the number of circles required to define the shape is reduced. Figure 9 illustrates the composition circle required to create the orifice opening 801. Join the points on the circumference opposite to the tangent point to obtain the minimum buckle profile required to produce the desired hourglass-shaped opening. The outline configuration includes arcs 901 and 903 to produce the edges that form the ends of the major axis and the edges of the parabolic portions 905 and 907 and the edges that form the ends of the minor axis. As long as the rest of the buckle profile is not closer to the predetermined orifice shape than the circle diameter ’, the hourglass orifice shape produced by the key orifice plate will have nothing to do with the buckle profile, except for the identified arcs and parabolic areas. Printed by the Consumers' Cooperative of the Central Standards Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs, the profile can be used to provide improved adhesion of the orifice plate to the barrier material, allowing the injection chamber to be designed with a larger ink volume. Fig. 10 illustrates an example of the printing head obtained when the non-conductive mandrel button-shaped portion is not related to the hole shape of the orifice surface. The orifice pore 801 and the button shape 001 are shown by solid lines for clarity, but the orifice gap 801 is located on the outer surface of the orifice plate and the button shape is on the inner surface of the orifice plate. The boring of the orifice is tied to the ink ejection chamber and horizontal when starting to inspect the boring of the orifice. -15- ^-(Please read the note on the back before filling this page) The paper size of the paper applies the Chinese national standard (CNS ) Λ4 is present (210X297 公 #_) V. Description of the invention (13) ~ '— ^ When the opening on the surface of the orifice plate is placed, the shape of the hourglass changes into an hourglass-shaped orifice 801. In each case, the barrier material configuration is shown in dotted lines. Kashima, the barrier material, divides the entrance of ink into the injection chamber 1005 into two ink channels 1007 and the rest of the injection chamber belongs to the barrier material wall UHUOU, which is determined by the wrist material. The improvement of the contact area between the barrier material and the orifice can be realized in the deleted section of the barrier island (the dotted line represents the outline of the hypothesis circle). This improved contact area is the square of the buckle shape that has to be a round part. It better matches the squared practice of the barrier material, and provides a rectangular cross section on the substrate 'even if the orifice plate is misaligned. Another square practice can increase the ink volume of the ejection chamber. In order to achieve improved print quality especially for color applications, it is desirable to use closely spaced orifices for simultaneous ink jetting from each closely spaced orifice. When the orifices are closely spaced to allow the same ejection chamber and heater resistor to be used, small droplets of ink that are properly coordinated can be ejected to achieve complex ink marks on the media. The single-non-conductive material provided on the conductive mandrel knows that due to the required thickness of the electroformed orifice plate, closely spaced ejection orifices cannot be produced. A feature of the present invention is that the shaped non-conductive buckle can generate a large number of orifices with a small area relative to the size and area of the injection cavity. Printed by the Consumer Standards Cooperative Department of the Central Bureau of Standards. Now refer to Figure 11. It can be seen that non-conductive buckles with parallelogram peripheral shapes and centered parallelograms can be excellently used for electrodeposition orifice plates to generate closely spaced holes. mouth.

As shown in the cross-sectional view of FIG. 12, which illustrates the working structure of the print head of an inkjet printer, the heater resistor 20 is provided by a semiconductor substrate 203, a barrier material 205, and an inner surface hole. The mouthpiece 107 corresponds to the inside of the injection chamber 207 formed by the inner surface 115 of FIG. 2. Orifice plate ’'is a cross-sectional view taken along line BB of FIG. 11 to obtain a view of FIG. 12. In this view, the electrodeposition process joins the ends of the orifices 1103 and 1109 (at 12 () 1) and the ends of the orifices 1105 and 1107 (at 1203) to form independent orifices in a cluster associated with the injection chamber. . When the electrodeposition thickness is 40 micrometers, the opening area of each orifice is equal to about 250 square micrometers. Figure π shows that the orifice plate 107 is formed in accordance with the method described in Figure 丨. In a preferred embodiment, the non-conductive buckle 105 is deposited as a hole 1113 and is disposed inside the non-conductive substrate. The deposited non-conductive dimensions are shown in Figure ii but for analysis this section can be viewed as I: 3 plus four sections each with s = 40 microns. As shown in Fig. 13, the orifice plate is cut along the line BB of Fig. 11 and turned upside down. When nickel (or other electrodeposited material) is deposited on the conductive surface of 103, it is uniformly grown in all directions from the conductive surface including the exposed surface through the hole 1U3 (but not from the non-conductive buckle 105). After a period of time, when the nickel is plated to a thickness of 40 micrometers (the dimensions of the sections of the non-conductive buckle) and the nickel is bonded to most of the non-conductive surface, the electrodeposition process is stopped, but the non-conductive shape The difference of the holes causes the gap to remain in the gap of the recording orifice, creating independent but related orifices, which are opposite to each other. The midpoint between the σ spacing of the holes is located in the hole. The relevant orifice has a uniform opening area on the outer surface of the orifice plate. And the center of distance is the symmetry of each other. For example, the second picture towel, the orifice 1103 and the orifice 1107 M Zhang Zhang scales are suitable for the country.

Description of the invention (15). Surround the center of a hole (equal to the position of the non-conductive hole 1 1 1 3) opposite to each other but with a symmetrical and consistent area opening on the surface of the orifice plate . In other words, a point at the opening area of the opening 1103 has a corresponding opening at the opening of the opening 1107, which appears on an imaginary line drawn between two points and includes the midpoint between the two openings. The parallelogram of the figure is not the only configuration that can create multiple openings in the print head. The details of several specific cases have been considered and discussed on Figure 14_18B. Figure 14 illustrates two types of '' D-shapes, which are associated with the orifice openings 1401 and 1403 on the surface of the orifice plate. These two inkjet orifices are produced by using an oval non-conductive buckle (shown in dotted lines as the perimeter of the oval of the buckle 1405), which has an enlarged circular hole H07 centered at the junction of the main shaft and the countershaft of the non-conductive buckle. The difference in shape between the non-conductive hole and the periphery is caused by orienting the major axis of the hole section with respect to the secondary axis of the buckle. When the electrodeposition process is used and finished, the shape difference creates a space as shown in FIG. In the preferred embodiment, the main axis of the non-conductive electrode 1405 is set to 乂 2 = 220 microns and the sub-pump is set to y2 = i60 microns. The main axis of the buckle hole 1407 is set to 40 micrometers and the counter axis is set to micrometers. The conventional electrodeposition process is carried out for a period of time to increase the nickel plating to a thickness of 40 microns. The initial results were that the two orifices 1401 and 1403 each had an opening area equal to about 1000 square meters; τ m. Fig. 15 illustrates a four-hole cluster produced by a circular non-conductive buckle 1501 having concentric holes 1503. The periphery of the buckle has four notches 1505, 1507, 1509, and 1511 as features around the non-conductive periphery, which can increase the growth of electrodeposition from the conductive surface below the notch to the surface of the non-conductive buckle. The growth of this notch produces a metal recess on the surface of the non-conductive buckle, which is between four holes.

When the thickness of the orifice plate reaches 35 microns, the electrodeposition process is stopped. Figure 16 illustrates an example of a four-hole cluster on the outer surface of the orifice plate. This cluster is generated by a non-conductive buckle with oval perimeter shape (shown in dotted line at 1601). The buckle has notched features 1603 and 1605 to expose the conductive surface below the non-conductive buckle and is provided at both ends along the main axis. The circular hole 1607 with the thread rotatable with respect to the button axis is set at the center of the know. When the main sleeve of the ellipse becomes X3 = 240 microns and the auxiliary axis becomes equal to 16μ, the notch is recessed from the periphery of the non-conductive button 35 Micron, and through non-conductive buckle (to the conductive surface below When the oval buckle becomes equal to 10 micrometers x 40 micrometers, the opening area on the outer surface of the orifice plate of each orifice in the cluster is equal to about 100 square micrometers. Printed on Figure 16 by the Consumer Cooperatives of the Central Standards Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs The setting can be changed in several ways. One example is the use of a rectangular non-conductive substrate 1701 with notches 1703 and 1705 on the short side of the rectangle and a circular hole 1707 in the center. When the long side of the non-conductive buckle is set at x4 = 240 microns The size of the short side of the buckle is set to 3 ^ = 160 microns, the notch is cut from the short side to 35 microns, the diameter of the round hole is set to 10 microns, and the electrodeposition process is performed until the nickel bond becomes 40 microns thick. Ports i7〇717〇9, 171 丨 and 1713 each have an opening area of about 250 square micrometers. It is expected that the rectangular non-conductive buckle of the π figure can use an oval hole, and the oval non-conductive hole of the 16th can use a round hole. Non-conductive buckles with other geometries and holes can produce more than four orifice clusters.

When the hexagonal buckle is set to y5 = l 60 microns, the hole is formed to 10 microns' and the electrodeposition process When a nickel thickness of 3 7.5 microns is generated, the opening area of each orifice becomes about 100 square microns. As an alternative, the buckle can be twisted in one or more dimensions as shown in Figure 丨 8B. The size of a buckle is set to y6 = 160 microns and The other dimensions are not set to X6 = 220 microns. The oval holes of 10 microns x 55 microns are centered in a twisted hexagon. When an electrode plate with an orifice thickness of 37.5 micrometers is produced, the opening area of each cluster orifice is 100 square micrometers. Thus, it can be seen from the foregoing description that a closely spaced orifice cluster can be formed by using a single non-conductive electrode having a controlled shape to form the hole. This configuration produces independent but coordinated orifices, which are particularly useful for producing high-quality images. -9 ---------- ^: ---- r--τ; τ ------: line-if] .. \ (Please read the notes on the back before filling this page ) Printed by the Consumer Cooperatives of the Central Standards Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs-20 · Printed by the Consumers Cooperatives of the Central Standards Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs A7 137 1 ο 5.
