Shopping for the right inkjet printer for you? Browse the HP Store for an HP Officejet Pro 6978.

Inkjet printers work by placing very small droplets of ink onto paper or other types of media to create an image or text. These are the most common type of printer you’ll see - you might even have one at home right now. Inkjet technology was actually conceptualized in the 20th century and was first seriously developed in the early 1950s. In the late 1970s, inkjet printers could recreate digital images made by computers - one of the first companies to provide this technology to the public was HP®.

Inkjet printers: technology for all of your printing needs from home to business

HP InkJet printers have come a long way since their beginnings of slow processing times and limited functions. Today, these devices are more powerful and dependable than ever. Whether you’re a parent who needs to print out your children’s school projects or you’re an avid concert-goer who prefers the tactile feel and security of a printed concert ticket over a virtual one, there’s an HP InkJet printer that can complement your needs.

Even if you’re a high-level executive, there’s incredible inkjet technology powering high-level printers like the HP DesignJet printer fleet so you can produce maps, blueprints, posters, and other commercial media easily with beautiful results every single time. There are myriad options as you think about the kinds of HP InkJet printers available and how they can make your life more streamlined and efficient.

A cost-effective option for the modern consumer

HP InkJet printers are generally more cost-efficient to purchase compared to laser printers, although you will have to decide which type of device complements your particular workflow.

Need to print on a different surface than just regular paper? You can with HP InkJet technology. Print on a variety of different media like glossy photo paper, stationery, and even fabrics.

HP InkJet printers are best for photo printings, graphics-heavy printing, small to mid-size businesses, and home office use.

HP PageWide means a more efficient printing experience

Boasting best-in-class cost of ownership along with best-in-class energy efficiency, HP PageWide technology takes advantage of inkjet processes but introduces a revolutionary way to generate your printouts.

Instead of a traditional printhead moving side to side across a paper to create your photo or text document, the printhead spans the entire width of the paper so each line is printed simultaneously as the paper moves through. This means faster results so you’re never standing around waiting at the printer to be done.

All-in-one printers: do everything with a single device

Need a printer-scanner? HP has a full range of printer-scanners plus other kinds of HP all-in-one printers to solve all of your home office device quandaries. You can find inkjet technology in HP printers capable of printing, copying, scanning, faxing, emailing, and printing out gallery-ready photographs. If you’re tired of switching devices or purchasing a new device for every need, an all-in-one inkjet printer by HP is a convenient solution.

When you’re trying to set up your home office, it can be hard to figure out exactly what you need. An all-in-one printer eliminates that decision frustration by providing you with the ultimate answer. Everything you need in one sleek package.

HP InkJet photo printers: beautiful results, every time

The digital age means that we can store all of our photos online with ease, either in files in our computer, a photo-hosting site, social media, on an external hard drive, or a cloud-based service. However, with the wide range of places to store our photos, it’s become more difficult to get those same photos freed from their digital prisons.

HP’s photo printers help liberate your photos from being locked away once and for all. You can easily print out beautiful photos worthy of hanging up in your living room.

With inkjet technology, you can expect high-quality photo printouts with beautifully blended colors. You can choose the HP InkJet photo printer based on your expected monthly duty cycle, the color resolution you prefer, the speed, connectivity options, and other printer specs.

Mobile printers: ready to move with you

As a mobile professional, it’s important that you’re able to take all of your necessary tools with you. An HP mobile printer with the power and reliability of inkjet technology behind it is the answer. Enjoy the freedom an HP mobile printer delivers and get down to business wherever you are in the world.

HP DesignJet printers for commercial purposes

If you’re a design professional, the quality of your printer is inextricably tied to the end result. Why trust your company’s reputation to a device that might result in smeared, uneven printouts? HP’s DesignJet fleet is the preferred choice for creatives who need posters, maps, architectural blueprints, and other large-scale graphics.
