| artiste's Full Review: Hewlett Packard PhotoSmart 1215vm InkJet Printer |
This HP has everything for photographers. First of all it prints at 2,400 by 1,200 dpi. It produces wonderful tonal qualities. You can print directly from your CompactFlash and SmartMedia cards. There are slots for the cards as well as buttons to change the images.
I like this model because it has two separate trays. One is for plain paper and one is for 4 to 6 inch photo paper. You don't even have to tell which interface to access. It has a built in optical sensor which can sense which paper goes with which setting. If you want to use the printer for business, you can purchase a $80 duplexer (model 1218) to create prints on both sides of your paper.
I like the ease of the software and setup. The drive in the printer is very powerful. It is one of the best I think for photo printing. The output is very fast as well as quiet. There is one drawback with this printer: compared to other models in this category, photo quality could be improved. The business graphics came out good.
This printer is very versatile which makes it a good purchase. It can do both photo and business printing. I like the fact that it can do so much.
