What Reuters is to news, HP ink cartridges are to printing. From hoi polloi to corporate, HP ink cartridges has an almost unmatchable share in the ink market. Interestingly, however Hewlett Packard didn't start out making HP ink cartridges. In fact, they didn't start making ink for printers. HP was started in 1939 by Stanford classmates, Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard who made an audio oscillator- an instrument used by sound engineers and then sold eight of them for use in the movie- Walt Disney movie, Fantasia.
Hewlett Packard's dedication to providing their customers with new technologies has carried them through decades. In 1978, HP dove into the field of desktop printing and in 1984 released the Thinkjet' and later that year, the HP Laserjet printer. Coming back to HP ink cartridges, one of the most breakthrough releases in this area has been, the Vivera Ink.
Moreover Hewlett Packard has a reputation of being environmental friendly through their way of disposal of used cartridges. HP considers recycling part of the product life cycle and they do all they can to make the experience free and easy for their customers. More than 159.5 HP ink cartridges were collected as of 2009, that is equal to 6.8 million kilograms worth of cartridges since HP Planet Partners started in 1997.
HP ink cartridges return and recycling is currently available in more than 50 countries, territories and regions in Asia, Europe, and North and South America through the HP Planet Partners program.
