PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for coating an orifice plate, and an orifice plate having a non-wetting coating. SOLUTION: To form the orifice plate 530 having the non-wetting coating, a material having non-wetting characteristics is provided as a surface of a transfer block. The non-wetting material preferably comprises tritetrafluoroethylene, and the transfer block preferably comprises a relatively soft material having superior heat transfer properties such as aluminum. The surface of the transfer block comprising the non-wetting material is pressed against the orifice plate 530, preferably under heating conditions. In one embodiment, the non-wetting surface is pressed against a secondary transfer block 520 to coat the secondary transfer block with the non-wetting material, and the coated surface of the secondary transfer block 520 is pressed against the orifice plate 530, preferably under heating conditions.
