HP Photosmart Premium Ink

Most companies recommend that you get their original ink products and not the cheaper imitations out there. The same goes for HP and their HP Photosmart Premium ink. There are 4 main reasons why you should buy original ink, and not get tempted by the imitations:

 

Quality – There is no question that the quality of the original ink is very often, if not always, better the its imitators. Due to the fact that non-original inks cost about half of the original, it is safe to assume that not the same care was made when the product was created.

Reliability – Tests have been done to show a major difference between the reliability of HP Photosmart Premium ink and its imitators. Without getting too technical, it basically comes down to how likely an ink cartridge is of releasing ink at just the right time in just the right place. Just a slight miss and and photo might be ruined.

Rewards – As a company, HP rewards those customers who consistently buys their original HP Photosmart Premium ink. This comes mostly as money-back or free ink and each purchase provides you with points that you can use at a later date.

Environment – All original ink cartridges sold by HP are all recyclable for free through HP Planet Partners. They currently operate in over 50 countries and territories, so this is your chance to do something for the environment.

It should also be noted that many of the printers in the Photosmart series are sold in packages with a years worth of ink, at a very low price. These deals will save you up to a hundred dollars in ink in your first year. HP also offers discounted ink to those buying printers directly from them. As well as saving money on ink, all of the printers in the Photosmart series are very energy efficient, using less then 1 Watt of electricity in off mode. In addition, most of their printers have the automatic two-sided printing system which saves you paper and money as well as the environment.

So, when it comes to ink for your new HP printer, always make sure you go for the HP Photosmart Premium ink. If you were only printing black and white A4 documents, you may get away with using the imitations. However if you ever plan on printing photos, which I assume most users of a HP Photosmart Premium would, only the original product will do.
