One of the most successful names in laser printing is HP. HP started out as a semi-conductor and microprocessor company and has branched out into computers, network equipment and printers. For a while, it even had a medical equipment and electronics arm, though this was spun off as a separate company a while back in order for the mother company to stick to its core competencies.
HP has always been one of the most popular brands in laser printers. During the early 1990’s HP laser printer engines were sourced out and manufactured by another company, which just so happens to also supply the laser printer engines of other top brand companies. Since then, it has made its own laser engines, as well as introduced other innovations in printing technology.
It is no wonder that HP is one of the three most recognizable brands in printers and is also the most iconic brands for laser printers. It has a wide appeal with an even wider range of products. HP has network printers for the enterprise, color printers for business presentation purposes as well as for art graphics design houses, it also has personal laser printers at a cost which makes it very affordable for the small-office/home office market.
Even for each segment of the industry HP has introduced innovations for various market segments. It has all in one scanner-printer-copier-fax machines, it has small footprint printers, and multi-tray network enterprise printers. These innovations are not fads, but are complete product lines which makes it a compelling buy for any organization, need or requirement.
