Abstract
Both ends of a head substrate in a longitudinal direction warp in a direction away from a cross section of a print substrate (in the convex shape) when a sealing resin is cured. A central portion of the head substrate in a longitudinal direction warps in a direction away from the cross section of the print substrate (in the concave shape) when heating elements emit heat. A curing condition when curing the sealing resin is changed corresponding to the concave-shaped warpage occurring when the heating elements emit heat, such that the convex-shaped warpage of the head substrate occurring when the sealing resin is cured is offset by the concave-shaped warpage of the head substrate and thus the heating elements are arranged in a straight line when the heating elements emit heat at the time of printing.
