“I see a lot of complaints about having to count pages and having the ink turned off after printing so many pages. Sounds like a hassle. It makes more sense to just replace the ink cartridges when they need to be replaced. Can you just turn this off?”

I have Instant Ink and wanted to note that how the Instant Ink pages are tracked gives a bit more flexibility on what you can print without worrying on increasing cost. A page is a page, regardless of how much ink you put on the page. This could include brochures, PowerPoints or pictures. I have found this valuable as I no longer need to worry about how or ration how much ink I am putting on a page. I just need to be conscious of how many pages I print and I find I am now printing with a bit more color. Colorful pages could cost me 5-10 times as much as traditional cartridges but are about 5 cents each with the 100 page plan. This product starts with a $120 Instant Ink credit and initally defaults to a $5/mn on the 100 page plan. I generally print around this. If you go under your plan, you can carry over unused pages for a couple months. If you go over my plan, Instant Ink debits against the remaining credit taht starts at $120 of value. You have the choice to switch plans if my printing changes (50pg, 100pg, $300pg per mn) but I haven't needed to change mine. I hope this information helps.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You are not obligated to join HP Instant Ink. If you cancel HP Instant Ink, then the printer will no longer work. The 2 years of ink is based on the 100-page plan from HP Instant Ink. That plan is normally $4.99 a month. So with the 2 years, that is a $120 credit. You can technically choose any of the three plans, but the number of months would change. For example, if you chose the $2.99 plan (50 pages a month), the 2-year plan would last about 40 months. The $9.99 plan (300 pages a month) would last about 12 months. HP will send you more ink before you need it. So, it does not matter what you actually print on the page. It is just the number of pages that are being counted based on the plan you chose. If for some reason, you need more pages than the plan you chose. Then, you can add a set of pages for $1.
