| Mojo-Jojo's Full Review: Hewlett Packard PhotoSmart 1215vm InkJet Printer |
Hewlett Packard has done a lot of stuff that has just blown my mind, but this printer has just got me amazed. The HP photosmart 1215 does just about all you can ask of a printer.
This printer comes with an infrared beam. That means you can print things directly from your lap top, palm pilot, or digital camera without even messing with the computer at all. I have seen this done before with my buddies palm pilot. He wrote a message on his palm and pointed it at the printer and next thing I knew it was printing his message.
The photosmart 1215 has memory card slots that most all digital cameras use. This is useful for saving your pictures to your computer or printing them straight out from the card.
There are two paper trays that you can use. One is for regular sized paper and the other can be used for 4X6 photo paper. It also has an optical paper sensor to detect what kind of paper is in the machine. By that I mean it will know if you have plain paper, photo paper, transparency paper or any other special paper and then automatically adjust the printing settings to fit that type of paper. You can also choose what kind of paper you are using by selecting it right on the printer.
The speed on this printer is amazing. You get the highest quality printing at great speed. If you are printing black you will get 15 pages per minute, if you print color it goes down to about 12 pages per minute. The ink cartridges for this printer are about $30 or $35 depending on where you buy them. You will get about 300-500 pages out of the cartridges.
With this printer you will get some great software to help you with your photos. It also comes with the standard one year warranty.
I have to say that this is a very good buy. It may seem expensive but is well worth it if you want quality photo prints.
