A method of manufacturing a member with recessed portions, the member with recessed portions including: a printing area in which a large number of recessed portions are formed on a surface thereof; and a non-printing area in which the recessed portions are not formed on the surface thereof, the surface being brought into contact with a viscous material so that the viscous material accumulates in the recessed portions, the excess viscous material being scraped off the surface by causing a doctor blade to horizontally stick up on the surface and relatively moving the doctor blade, the method comprising the steps of: manufacturing a base member having the printing area in which the large number of recessed portions are formed on the surface and the non-printing area in which the recessed portions are not formed on the surface; forming a DLC coating so as to cover the printing area and the non-printing area; and forming a plurality of grinding traces by grinding the DLC coating, the plurality of grinding traces forming an inclined angle of other than 0° and 90° with respect to an imaginary extension of the doctor blade which horizontally sticks up on the surface, wherein the step of forming a plurality of grinding traces comprises forming the plurality of grinding traces having a first angle corresponding to the inclined angle of other than 0° and 90° with respect to the imaginary extension of the doctor blade and a second angle corresponding to the an inclined angle of other than 0° and 90° with respect to the imaginary extension of the doctor blade so that the grinding traces at the first angle and grinding traces at the second angle intersect each other. a printing area in which a large number of recessed portions are formed on a surface thereof; and a non-printing area in which the recessed portions are not formed on the surface thereof, the surface being brought into contact with a viscous material so that the viscous material accumulates in the recessed portions, the excess viscous material being scraped off the surface by causing a doctor blade to horizontally stick up on the surface and relatively moving the doctor blade, the method comprising the steps of: manufacturing a base member having the printing area in which the large number of recessed portions are formed on the surface and the non-printing area in which the recessed portions are not formed on the surface; forming a DLC coating so as to cover the printing area and the non-printing area; and forming a plurality of grinding traces by grinding the DLC coating, the plurality of grinding traces forming an inclined angle of other than 0° and 90° with respect to an imaginary extension of the doctor blade which horizontally sticks up on the surface, wherein the step of forming a plurality of grinding traces comprises forming the plurality of grinding traces having a first angle corresponding to the inclined angle of other than 0° and 90° with respect to the imaginary extension of the doctor blade and a second angle corresponding to the an inclined angle of other than 0° and 90° with respect to the imaginary extension of the doctor blade so that the grinding traces at the first angle and grinding traces at the second angle intersect each other. the surface being brought into contact with a viscous material so that the viscous material accumulates in the recessed portions, the excess viscous material being scraped off the surface by causing a doctor blade to horizontally stick up on the surface and relatively moving the doctor blade, the method comprising the steps of: manufacturing a base member having the printing area in which the large number of recessed portions are formed on the surface and the non-printing area in which the recessed portions are not formed on the surface;

forming a DLC coating so as to cover the printing area and the non-printing area; and forming a plurality of grinding traces by grinding the DLC coating, the plurality of grinding traces forming an inclined angle of other than 0° and 90° with respect to an imaginary extension of the doctor blade which horizontally sticks up on the surface, wherein the step of forming a plurality of grinding traces comprises forming the plurality of grinding traces having a first angle corresponding to the inclined angle of other than 0° and 90° with respect to the imaginary extension of the doctor blade and a second angle corresponding to the an inclined angle of other than 0° and 90° with respect to the imaginary extension of the doctor blade so that the grinding traces at the first angle and grinding traces at the second angle intersect each other.
