This paper presents a novel LIGA-like process to fabricate the nozzle plate for matchingthe requirements of the 600 dpi inkjet printhead. This novel fabrication technique reduces theproduction cost from 100% current process to 50%. This mass production technique comprises twomain technologies: Ni-Co electroforming and plastic injection molding. The nozzle plate consistsink channels, ink cavities, and nozzles for enhancing the integrity and excusing the assemblyprocess. The dimensions of nozzle plate are 4.16mm in width and 7.3mm in length, respectively.Total thickness of micro-nozzle plates are thickness≦100um(ink channels and ink cavities), and thediameter and pitch of the nozzle holes are 40±3um and 168±3 um, respectively. Straightly speaking,for being the main compositions of the 600 dpi inkjet printhead design, the above fabricationprocess is qualified enough and capable of yielding satisfactory results
