A method of manufacturing an ink jet head including an ink-chamber member having ink chambers, and a nozzle plate secured to a front end face of the ink-chamber member and which has ink-jet holes communicating with the respective ink chambers, wherein a blank for the nozzle plate is formed by injection molding, such that blind holes are formed in one of opposite surfaces of the blank and such that each blind hole has a varying-area portion whose cross sectional area decreases in a direction from the above-indicated one of opposite surfaces of the blank toward the other surface, and the blank is subjected to laser-cutting to prepare the nozzle plate having orifice holes which cooperate with the blind holes to form the ink-jet holes. The size of each blind hole at an open end thereof is preferably smaller than the size of the ink chamber at an end thereof at which the ink chamber communicates with the ink-jet hole.
