Abstract

This invention relates to an ink jet print head having ink passage ways formed in a radiation cured resin layer which is attached to a substrate. The passageways are connected in fluid flow communication to an ink discharging outlet provided by an orifice plate. In order to form the passage ways in the resin layer, a resin composition is exposed to a radiation source in a predetermined pattern to cure certain regions of resin layer while other regions which provide the passage ways remain uncured. The uncured regions are removed from the resin layer leaving the desired passage ways. The resin composition to be used for forming the radiation curable layers is a resin composition comprising: a first multifunctional epoxy compound; a second multifunctional compound; a photoinitiator; and a non-photoreactive solvent.
