    HP DeskJet
    The HP DeskJet was amongst the first inkjet printers available to the public. Invented by Hewlett Packard in 1988, it was the least-expensive ink jet printer on the market at the time, priced at $1,000. This 'drop-on-demand' printer used thermal technology to push the drops of ink out of the print head. By 1994, color printing was revolutionized when the DeskJet offered a color printing upgrade.
