Abstract
A method for manufacturing an ink jet head by bonding with liquid-like adhesive a member at least having a discharge port for discharging ink, and a substrate having energy generating elements to generate energy for discharging ink comprises the steps of coating the liquid-like adhesive on the member or the substrate, the liquid-like adhesive containing at least ultraviolet curing cation polymeric starter and epoxy resin; irradiating ultraviolet rays to the liquid-like adhesive to activate the ultraviolet curing cation polymeric starter; positioning the member and the substrate without heating process; and heating in a state of the member and the substrate being positioned to cure the activated liquid-like adhesive. With the method thus structured, the ink jet head can be manufactured with excellent stability of preservation, while making it not only possible to position the ink discharge port and the energy generating element on the substrate of the ink jet head in high precision at low temperature for bonding but also, to implement high resistance to ink and heat after the adhesive has been cured.
