The First LaserJet
In 1984, the first LaserJet was introduced at a retail price of $3,495. Although noisier than today's models, its ruggedness and reliability launched a revolution in desktop laser printing. Some 25 years later, high-end, monochrome LaserJets sold for similar prices, although substantially faster and better. However, personal LaserJets for consumers dropped to as little as $99.
