      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.

Our Verdict:

An excellent photo printer, the HP Photosmart 1215VM allows fast and reliable printing and is ideal for photo enthusiasts and amateur photographers who want the convenience of a personal printer that can produce vivid documents and photos. The HP Photosmart 1215VM can be used with both PC and Mac computers and can function as a standalone device, featuring slots for different types of media cards. Unlike all-in-one models, however, it does not support functionalities that are crucial for home offices, such as copying and scanning.

Design

The HP Photosmart 1215VM leaves a small footprint, measuring only 17.3x14.8x8 inches. It can also be carried around easily, being only 14.3 pounds. The machine features dual input trays – one for plain paper and another for photo media. It also offers duplexing support and can connect to computers via USB and parallel ports. Wireless connectivity is possible via infrared, which means the HP Photosmart 1215VM can print from various compatible devices like cameras, laptops, and other digital devices.

Advantages

Practical and efficient, the HP Photosmart 1215VM is perfect for homes or even small office settings. The machine prints on a wide variety of media and can handle paper or transparencies as large as 8.5x14 inches. It supports wired and wireless connectivity, and boasts a monthly duty cycle of 5000 impressions per month.

Disadvantages

The only complaint some users have about he HP Photosmart 1215VM is that it does not support multi-functionality and uses a tri-colour cartridge, which is less economical than individual tanks.
