How to pick the right ink for HP Photosmart 1215 (and avoid common issues) When choosing an ink cartridge for HP Photosmart 1215, we recommend starting with two simple steps: confirm whether you need HP 45 black or HP 78 color, then decide on Original OEM or compatible. If you print both text and photos, a bundle (45 + 78) is usually the most convenient. Users of the HP Photosmart 1215 most often report issues that are easy to solve with the right cartridge choice and a bit of routine care: - Faded prints or missing lines – often related to an empty cartridge or dried nozzles; replacing the cartridge and running a cleaning cycle typically helps.
- Color shifts in photos – a sign that the color cartridge is running low; choosing a fresh HP 78 (OEM or our proven compatible) restores proper tones.
- Printing black looks gray – usually means the black cartridge needs replacement; a new HP 45 brings back crisp, deep black.
- Cartridge not recognized after installation – make sure protective tape is removed and contacts are clean; if you need help, we’re here to guide you.
