Abstract (en)

An orifice plate is fabricated for use in an ink jet printer. Initially, a mandrel is provided, and a holder is aligned to the mandrel. The mandrel and the holder are maintained in intimate contact and at equal electrical potential. The mandrel and the holder are placed at cathodic polarity. A plating material is then applied to the combined mandrel and holder to cause the mandrel and holder to form a single orifice plate directly bonded to the holder. The mandrel is then removed from the orifice plate. <IMAGE>
