What was the first colour inkjet printer on the market? -

HP and Canon are both claiming to be the first however somebody is lying ,I need a source to show me who marketed the first color inkjet printer.

I like this article because it references Siemens, IBM (which I thought was the first) and Canon (followed quickly by HP) http://www.coldreset.com/modules.php?nam… This one provides names and dates, but also explains the almost simbiotic relationship between Canon and HP http://elsa.berkeley.edu/~bhhall/e124/e1… Specifically colour inkjet.....? This website has Canon s in 1982 http://www.itn.is/vorur/prentarar/canon/… HP s own website says the first colour PaintJet was 1987 http://www.hp.com/oeminkjet/about_TIJ/hi… Canon s own website claims colour printer around 1991 http://www.canon.com/technology/pdf/tech… big file Great question!!!

Siemens 1951

500c launched in 1991 Hewlett Packared.
