Abstract
An orifice plate sealing tape for an orifice plate of a micro-fluid ejection device and methods for sealing an orifice plate with the sealing tape. The sealing tape includes a flexible polymeric backing film and a radiation cured adhesive applied to a surface of the orifice plate. The adhesive is cured in a pattern sufficient to seal adjacent to nozzle holes in the orifice plate and to enhance removal of the backing film and adhesive from the orifice plate prior to use of the micro-fluid ejection device. Upon removal of the sealing tape, a minimum of residue is left on the nozzle plate surface adjacent to and/or in the nozzle holes.
