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.

Answers:
I like this article because it references Siemens, IBM (which I thought was the first) and Canon (followed quickly by HP)

This one provides names and dates, but also explains the almost simbiotic relationship between Canon and HP

This website has Canon's in 1982
