In this paper we estimate the   $\left( {{L}^{p}}-{{L}^{2}} \right)$ -norm of the complex harmonic projectors
 $\left( {{L}^{p}}-{{L}^{2}} \right)$ -norm of the complex harmonic projectors   $\pi \ell {\ell }',\,1\le p\le 2$ , uniformly with respect to the indexes
 $\pi \ell {\ell }',\,1\le p\le 2$ , uniformly with respect to the indexes   $\ell,{\ell}'$ . We provide sharp estimates both for the projectors
