Deskjet is a brand name for inkjet printers manufactured by Hewlett-Packard.[1] These printers
range from small domestic to large industrial models, although the largest models in the range
have generally been dubbed DesignJet.[2] The Macintosh-compatible equivalent was branded
as the Deskwriter and competed with Apple's StyleWriter, and the all-in-one equivalent is
called OfficeJet.
HP's first inkjet printer is the ThinkJet.

History[edit]
HP began making inkjet printers with the HP Thinkjet (models HP 2225A and HP 2225B) in
1984.[3] In 1988, HP introduced the first DeskJet. It included a built-in cut sheet feeder, 2 ppm,
and 300 dpi. This was followed by the DeskJet Plus in 1989. It offered a landscape printing
ability. The DeskJet 500 was introduced in 1990, offering a faster printing speed of 3 ppm.
Meanwhile, HP introduced the DeskWriter for the Macintosh in 1989, based on the DeskJet
500.
By 1987, the world's first full-color inkjet printer, the PaintJet, was introduced. It was successful
that HP introduced a version of the DeskJet capable of color printing, the DeskJet 500C, in
October 1991, which is also HP's first 300 dpi color printer, offering 4 minutes per page in
color. It was replaced by the DeskJet 550C in October 1992, HP's first two-pen color DeskJet,
offering a faster black and white speed of 4 ppm and print quality at 600 dpi in B&W, and then
the DeskJet 560C in March 1994, which introduced HP ColorSmart to intelligently analyze
documents for the best color output.
Meanwhile, HP introduced the DeskJet Portable (3 ppm) in 1992. It was designed to be easily
portable. It was targeted at mobile professionals. It was replaced by the HP DeskJet 310 (4
ppm B&W, 4 minutes per page color) in 1993, the HP DeskJet 320 in 1994, the HP DeskJet
340 (2 minutes per page color) in 1995, and the HP DeskJet 350 and 350CBi (5 ppm B&W, 2
ppm color) in 2000.
HP continued to make black-and-white-only inkjet printers with the HP DeskJet 510 (1992) and
520 (1994). The HP DeskJet 520 introduced resolution enhancement technology, or REt, to HP
inkjet printers. It was also HP's last black-and-white-only inkjet printer. The HP DeskJet 500,
510, 520, 500C, 550C, and 560C were all replaced by the HP DeskJet 540 (3 ppm B&W, 1.5
minutes per page color). A one-pen inkjet printer, color was optional. Also it introduced a
different industrial design.
HP's high-end printer line started with the HP DeskJet 1200C, introduced in 1993, offering 6
ppm B&W, and 1 ppm color. This was replaced by the HP DeskJet 1600C (1995), offering 9
ppm B&W, and 4 ppm color, which offered a successor, the HP DeskJet 1600CN (1996), the
1600C with built-in networking.
HP replaced the PaintJet XL300 and the DeskJet 1600C/1600CN with the HP DeskJet
1000C/1100C/1120C in 1998, HP's first A3 inkjet printers under the DeskJet brand. These
printers were replaced by the HP DeskJet 1220C in 2000, offering 12 ppm in B&W, and 10
ppm in color.
Vivid, enduring HP Vivera inks were introduced with the HP Deskjet 6540 in 2004, offering
breakthrough printing speeds of up to 30 ppm in black-and-white, and 20 ppm in color.
HP all-in-one inkjet printers under the Deskjet brand exist, starting with the HP Deskjet F380
printer/scanner/copier, introduced in 2006, using HP Vivera inks, and offering print speeds of
20 ppm in black-and-white, and 14 ppm in color.
Today, HP sells various Deskjets. The current line of HP Deskjets include the HP Deskjet
1000/2000/3000, and all-in-ones like the 1050/1055/2050/3050/3050A/3510/3520.[4] The 1000,
1050, and 1055 were introduced in 2010, while the 2000/3000/2050/3050/3050A/3510/3520
were introduced in September 2011. The 3050/3050A/3510/3520 include touchscreen
LCDs.[citation needed] Many current HP Deskjets offer print speeds of 20 ppm B&W and 14 ppm
color.[citation needed]
