A coating method is provided for forming a liquid-repellent coat on a predetermined partial region of an inner surface of each through-hole of a nozzle plate. The nozzle plate is provided in an ink-jet head of an ink-jet printer. The coating method comprises the steps of forming a coat preform to be processed into the coat on a region including the partial region of the inner surface of the through-hole; attaching a sheet material for protecting the coat preform to one surface of the base material in which the one end of the through-hole is provided so that a part of the sheet material is packed into the through-hole; subjecting the base material to plasma processing and/or ultraviolet ray irradiating processing from the side of the base material where the other end of the through-hole is provided to remove the coat preform exposed from the sheet material while leaving the coat preform on the predetermined partial region as it is; and removing the sheet material from the base material. A liquid supplying head having the thus formed nozzle plate and a liquid supplying apparatus equipped with the liquid supplying head are also provided.
A coating method for forming a coat on a base material having at least one through-hole, the through-hole having an inner surface between one end and the other end thereof, the coat being formed on at least a predetermined partial region of the inner surface of the through-hole, the partial region of the inner surface running a predetermined length from the one end of the through-hole toward the other end, the method comprising the steps of:
