HP 1115 Printer Review

The HP Photosmart 1115 is a high-yielding inkjet printer with good quality and decent speeds. It is a single purpose printer, which will not likely appeal to businesses that require copying, scanning or faxing. All-in-one units would be more appropriate in an office environment. However, for homes or personal users it is an efficient and professional quality device.

The importance of speed is dependent upon the kind of documents being printed. Most basic users will be completely content with 12 pages per minute with black Photosmart 1115 ink and 10 pages per minute with color. Offices would most likely require a much faster output rate. Everyone appreciates quality though. A resolution of 600x600 dpi can be reached using black printer ink, while the color HP 1115 ink can obtain a maximum resolution of 2400x1200 dpi.

The two Photosmart 1115 ink cartridges are black and tricolor, which is filled with cyan, magenta and yellow printer ink. HP 1115 ink can print on various types of paper, including plain, photo and glossy. It can also print on different media types such as envelopes, banners, transparencies, labels, cards and iron-on transfers.

The 1115 has a monthly capacity of 5,000 pages. It is connected through USB and parallel ports, and it also can load images directly from memory cards. There is an LCD on the control panel for simple navigation and a built in memory of 16 MB. This inkjet printer is compatible with Windows and Mac and has an alert to notify users when HP 1115 ink cartridges are low.

This device features PhotoREt II and ColorSmart II technologies, which ensure the highest quality of prints by automatically enhancing images and layering drops of ink when applied to the paper. For a reasonable price and simple functions, the HP Photosmart 1115 is a solid printer with good quality.
