HEWLETT-PACKARD
Hewlett-Packard's timeline on wide-format stretches back to 1991, when HP introduced its first large-format plotter based on ink-jet technology. The HP DesignJet line of ink-jet plotters experienced success in the CAD industry—paving the way for new large-format printing movements for Hewlett-Packard in other markets. In September of 1995, Hewlett-Packard introduced DesignJet 2500CP/2000CP, suited for design professionals, offering output at 600 dpi.
