HP PhotoSmart 1215 Photo Printer

I've had a HP842C for 3 years. On its last leg, I researched what printer (brands) to get, including all the HP's, and found the 1215 as the best buy. A friend told me the only thing good HP does is printers; don't know if that's true, but I am sold on their printers. I print mega digital photos, and the large ink cartridge is what sold me. I also publish a bi-monthly newsletter for my trade association, and my first copy from the 1215 was more than anticipated. I had forgotten what a good printer accomplished. The "normal" print selection produced text so crisp and clear; the color photos were superb. Print speed was quick - just watch out for the flying paper. The printer spits the paper out so quickly, some sheets landed on the floor. I've remedied that situation. Also had to buy a new 78 color, the print heads were dried up on the cartridge included in the box. Being an older model HP, I wasn't surprised nor angry. It's just one of those things. Overall, very satisfied. So much, I bought a second one!

I bought this printer because of the reviews it got right here on Amazon. There are so many different kinds of printers and so little time to research. I made a good choice. This printer has a bunch of cool features that I can't live without anymore. A great buy.

When printing on HP photo paper, the quality is excellent. Output is very professional.

I have had this printer for over a year and I still get compliments almost daily on the gorgeous pictures I can print on this machine!... I print fairly heavy quantities of pictures and have had the paper jam maybe once. This is definately worth the money. I have purchased 2 other printers since this one, trying to see if I could get better or quicker pictures. The other two printers have gone to the wayside (one is now attached to the kids computer). There was no comparison in speed or quality...the HP was by far better! It even produces awesome picts with remanufactured ink cartrides at a much lower cost. Overall...great printer!...

A year and a half ago, I purchased everything I needed for my first computer. I did a lot of research and went way wrong with highly recommended Dell computer. But, based on what I could see at the store (the clerks at CompUSA are not too eager to help) I bought this printer. It has been the best purchase of my computing experience. Photos are flawless, as is everything else I print with this printer. It seeems to do what it is supposed to and musch more incredibly well.
