Method for manufacturing ink-jet print head

A method for manufacturing an inkjet print head, comprising:

• bonding an actuator to a base plate, the actuator including a plurality of pressure chambers provided in a fixed direction, a piezoelectric member forming a wall of each pressure chamber and configured to change capacity of said pressure chamber;
• connecting a wire to the piezoelectric member;
• arranging the base plate in a recess in a support member, the support member including a flat portion provided with an ink supply aperture and an ink discharge aperture to circulate and supply ink, the recess in the support member being formed in the flat portion;
• and
• bonding a frame member and a nozzle plate including a plurality of nozzles corresponding to the plurality of pressure chambers to the base plate so that:
• the frame member is interposed between the base plate and the nozzle plate, surrounding the ink discharge aperture and the ink supply aperture, and
• the actuator i) divides a gap between the nozzle plate and the base plate into an outer channel and an inner channel and ii) is surrounded by the nozzle plate, the frame member, and the base plate, wherein the ink supply aperture supplies the ink into the inner channel, and wherein the ink discharge aperture receives the ink from the outer channel.
