History of HP Printers

Hewlett Packard is one of the few computer companies out there that can trace its roots back to before the computer was invented. In fact the first HP product was produced in a garage bringing new meaning to the term garage mechanic. The company has shown a remarkable ability to innovate and not only keep up with but lead the way in technology advances. The history of HP printers though doesn’t start until the 1980’s.

In 1984 HP  revolutionized the printer market with the introduction of inkjet printers.  These machines were singularly responsible for changing the entire printer market. Inkjet printers replaced the noisier and less precise dot matrix printers. They paved the way for home use printers.

In 1988 HP introduced the deskjet printer. It became the standard for printers for years to come.

In the 1990’s HP focused more on its inkjet technology. It moved beyond black and white printing to full color printing. For the first time businesses could print quality documents in house, significantly cutting expenses for businesses around the world.

By the late 90’s HP was still innovating. They introduced the first all in one printer. This innovation helped lower business costs even more as now printers could take on the role of copy machines as well leading to more office integration.

In the 2000’s the company further cemented its role as a world leader in printers with the introduction of multiple full color high quality printer lines. These printers could use six different ink jets and 4800 dpi quality.

Hewlett Packard has come a long way from a single simple garage.  They’ve consistently innovated the field of printing. Who knows what their next products will be. With this kind of history behind it you can be sure that if you purchase an HP printer you’re getting a quality product with years of research behind it.

Someone else will sell you a refilled cartridge. You won’t have to worry about spilling ink all over your desk either. In fact some companies will offer a recycling program so that you can just ship your old cartridge back to them.
