      3-year warranty on our own-brand cartridges
      We are proud of our own-brand cartridges, so we’ve made trying them a no-brainer. If within three years of purchase you have any problem whatsoever, we’ll happily offer either a replacement or a refund.
      Returning items is easy—it takes just a few minutes. But our return rate is very low, so you’ll be unlikely to need it.
      We are confident that no other own-brand cartridges are better than ours. They produce vibrant prints with accurate colour densities and dark blacks—and their page yields are as good as the genuines, if not better. Give them a try, and see why our customers love them.
      Our own-brand cartridges are incredibly reliable for three reasons:
      1. We are the UK’s biggest seller of own-brand cartridges, and we have invested a lot in optimising them.
      2. We are dedicated to quality. Every own-brand cartridge is performance-tested before it leaves the factory.
      3. We constantly monitor customer feedback, and quickly resolve any issues.
    • Printer protection guarantee
      Our cartridges won't damage your printer—guaranteed
      Some people worry that own-brand cartridges might damage their printers. We know from experience that ours don’t.
      To reassure you, we guarantee that we’ll repair or replace your printer—for free—in the unlikely event that it gets damaged by an own-brand cartridge. This is regardless of how old your printer is. We can afford to offer this because problems are almost unheard of.
      Some people whose printers are less than a year old worry that an own-brand cartridge might invalidate the manufacturer’s warranty. This isn’t true. By law, the manufacturers aren’t allowed to invalidate your warranty if you use own-brand cartridges. If something does go wrong, and our own-brand cartridges are to blame, we’ll take over the manufacturer’s warranty, offer you phone support and repair or replace your printer if needed.

      In summary, there’s zero risk in using our own-brand cartridges.

      • Printer protection guarantee
        Our cartridges won't damage your printer—guaranteed
        Some people worry that own-brand cartridges might damage their printers. We know from experience that ours don’t.
        To reassure you, we guarantee that we’ll repair or replace your printer—for free—in the unlikely event that it gets damaged by an own-brand cartridge. This is regardless of how old your printer is. We can afford to offer this because problems are almost unheard of.
        Some people whose printers are less than a year old worry that an own-brand cartridge might invalidate the manufacturer’s warranty. This isn’t true. By law, the manufacturers aren’t allowed to invalidate your warranty if you use own-brand cartridges. If something does go wrong, and our own-brand cartridges are to blame, we’ll take over the manufacturer’s warranty, offer you phone support and repair or replace your printer if needed.

        In summary, there’s zero risk in using our own-brand cartridges.

HP Photosmart 1000 Printer Review

Expert review of the HP Photosmart 1000 printer

Our Verdict:

This versatile photo printer claims to deliver high quality photo output and the ability to print directly from a wide selection of digital cameras. The HP Photosmart 1000 promises realistic images, wireless printing, and faster print speeds, but it is slightly expensive and could use more RAM, a better paper feed, and a more user-friendly set up process.

Design

HP designed the Photosmart 1000 with direct-printing capabilities in mind. Some of its distinctive features include 2 built-in memory card readers. The control panel has colourful buttons and a small LCD screen. The 100-paper capacity tray has a smaller feeder for 20 4x6-inch photo paper. A high-speed USB 2.0 cable or Parallel USB cord connects the HP Photosmart 1000 to your computer.

Advantages

Double-sided printing is one of the main perks of the HP Photosmart 1000. The printer is fairly fast at 4.4 to 11 ppm in black text ('best' to 'draft' mode), and 8.5 ppm in draft mode when printing graphics and colour text. The HP Photosmart 1000 is rather compact and can fit into limited desktop space, being 17.32 inches wide, 14.56 inches deep, and 7.72 inches tall.

Disadvantages

The HP Photosmart 1000 lacks a larger and better LCD display where users can preview their photos if they are printing directly from a memory card. The outdated technology means it can only accommodate a limited number of memory cards like Microdrive, CompactFlash, and SmartMedia cards, so the direct-printing feature is useless for those who have xD-Picture Cards and Sony Memory Stick flash memory. The HP Photosmart 1000 becomes sluggish when printing on 4x6-inch photo paper, taking approximately 2 minutes to finish the job. Neither USB 2.0 nor parallel cable is included in the package.
