What does instant ink mean how does it work? null

Instant Ink is a ink recycling program that allows your printer to automatically request ink from HP when you're low and they deliver it straight to your door before you run out. It requires that your printer be connected either wired or wirelessly to the web and you pick the plan that works best for you; 50 pages/month ($2.99); 100 pages/month ($4.99) or 300 pages/month for $9.99. They also offer a free plan at 15 pages/month. You are required to send back the used cartridges (HP pays for return postage and supplies what you need to do this). They also offer rollover (i.e. if you have the 50-page plan and only print 25 pages, the remaining 25 would roll into the next month). If you don't want to do the Instant Ink program, check out my recommended printer models from HP. In the long-term these would save you costs by using multiple cartridges on color instead of the tri-color (all inks in one tank) that a lot of other HP printers use. This makes the cost to replace a single color around $10-$15 versus replacing ALL the colors in a tri-color for 2-3x the price, even if you haven't used all the ink from all the colors. Hope that helps!

It means you can sign up to have ink sent to you when your printer is running low. Depending on how much you think you are going to print in a month, depends on how much you will pay every month. You're printer will let "them" know when you need more ink.

So, during set up you are advised to sign up for instant ink. Let me tell you, it's the best thing since sliced bread. Once your ink gets to a certain level (low stage) HP instantly send you ink in the mail. You get new ink before your ink actually runs out

It’s a ink subscription service. The printer itself send HP a message when you’re running low on ink and they send you replacements.
