A method of producing a liquid-jetting head capable of recording in a plurality of colors comprises the steps of providing a base member having a plurality of heaters thereon, at least one plate member having at least one perforation therethrough with a predetermined shape and an orifice plate having holes therethrough, and laminating the base member, plate member and orifice plate together to provide a laminated liquid-jetting head having a plurality of liquid supply paths, each including a branched liquid path, formed by the perforation, from which liquid can be ejected through the orifices by the action of heat energy applied to the liquid in the liquid path by the heaters. Also disclosed is an image recording apparatus using the laminated liquid-jetting head.
