Abstract:
A plating method includes a first mask forming step of ejecting a UV-curable ink in the form of ink droplets from an inkjet head so as to have the ejected ink droplets land on a plating target object and to form a first plating mask on the plating target object, a catalyst applying step of applying a catalyst for deposition of plating material to the plating target object on which the first plating mask is formed, a second mask forming step of having the ink droplets land on the first plating mask so as to form a second plating mask on the first plating mask, a plating step of performing electroless plating to the plating target object subsequent to the second mask forming step, and a mask removing step of removing the first plating mask and the second plating mask from the plating target object subsequent to the plating step.

Claim (Index 9):
The plating method according to  claim 2 , further comprising a surface roughening step of subjecting the plating target object to a surface roughening treatment prior to the catalyst applying step.
