HP celebrates the twentieth anniversary of the launch of its first DeskJet printer, which offered for the first time industry-standard laser quality printouts on plain paper at a consumer-friendly price and size. The introduction of the HP DeskJet in 1988 highlighted HP’s steady rise to become a major player in the emerging personal computing and desktop publishing industries.
HP has always been at the forefront of printing technology, having developed the world’s first thermal inkjet printer in 1979. This led to the development of the ThinkJet in 1984 and the colored PaintJet in 1987. HP launched the DeskJet the following year to cater to the demand for high-quality printouts by the mass market, spurred by the growth of personal computing. For the first time, HP was able to offer the public a non-impact, desktop-sized printer that boasted laser-quality output.
The HP DeskJet paved the way for HP to become the world leader in thermal inkjet technology. Today, the HP DeskJet continues to change the way people work with its latest models:
