A:Answer Thank you for reaching out. You can choose if you wish to use the HP Instant Ink plans or not. This printer is eligible for the HP Instant Ink print free for life plan which allows you to print up to 15 pages a month at no cost. If the printer needs ink at any time it will automatically come to your address, you never pay for the ink, shipping or anything. Your plan gives you access to an unlimited supply of HP's Ink as you need it. If you print over 15 pages every 10 pages is just $1. Even if you find you print more, the 50 page $2.99 plan works out to $36 which is still more affordable than buying ink cartridges, about even if you only buy the ink once a year. You can enroll, cancel or change plans at any time. So using Instant Ink is completely optional and by not choosing to use it initially you are not loosing out on the ability to use it later.
