A method for correcting a recording head is provided to solve the problems of density unevenness in recorded images. The density comparison is made with the reference density for a predetermined unit in the density distribution of an image recorded by the application of n kinds of signals. Then, one of the n kinds of signals which is close to the reference density is selected. The properties of the signal thus selected are transmitted to the recording head together with the correction data, hence correcting density unevenness.

An apparatus and method for accurately and rapidly correcting a printing characteristic of a printhead, a printhead whose printing characteristic is corrected by the above apparatus, and a printing apparatus using the printhead. In the apparatus for correcting the printing characteristic of the printhead, n kinds of printing control signal patterns are used to a full line printhead, printing patterns are experimentally printed in response to the printing control signal patterns on a printing medium and a reference density distribution is generated from one of n kinds of the printing patterns printed. Then, one of the n kinds of printing control signal patterns is selected for each of a plurality of printing elements such that a density value on each pixel is equal or close to the reference density distribution. In this case, a similar selection is carried out on another reference density distribution generated on the basis of another one of the n kinds of printing patterns, and an optimum one of the n kinds of printing control signal patterns is determined as correction data.

A method for manufacturing a liquid jet recording head comprises of the steps of calculating the difference between the distance B from the first heater on the element substrate to the cut face of the element substrate and the distance A from the first flow path groove on the ceiling plate to the abutment reference of the ceiling plate, measuring the amounts of deviation in the positional precisions in the state where the element substrates and the ceiling plates are actually positioned, working out a correction value from the distributional condition of such deviations, feeding back the correction value for determining the corrected amount of retraction. Then, after the abutment reference of the ceiling plate is allowed to abut upon the cut face of the element substrate by means of a push jig, retraction is performed by moving the ceiling plate by means of a retraction jig in the reverse direction with respect to the element substrate, hence positioning the ceiling plate and the element substrate. With the method thus arranged, it is made possible to perform positioning in a higher precision at lower costs with a shorter tact time, thus manufacturing a highly precise and highly reliable liquid jet recording head.

A common recess, grooves, and common recess and/or column members in the grooves are formed on a base board at the same time, and such board is made a second base board, which is coupled to a first base board on which elements for liquid discharging energy are formed; hence obtaining an ink jet recording head provided with a filter unit in an arbitrary position in the region formed by the ink paths and the common liquid chamber. The filter unit can be processed by a single processing in the ink paths and/or the common liquid chamber to make it possible to prevent disabled discharge from taking place due to dust particles intermingled at the time of head manufacture. In this way, the discharging stability is enhanced, making a high-speed printing possible. A workpiece is efficiently processed by a single processing which is performed to process a three-dimensional configuration with respect to the direction in which the laser beam is irradiated.
