50% cost increase? **bleep**

knbute · ‎12-19-2023

I am a senior living on a fixed income. My COST OF LIVING increased by 3.2%. I don't print 15 pages a month, and can't recall if you sent any ink this year but I doubt it. Does not seem fair nor responsible. Everyone is complaining about how are government has shafted us but in reality it companies like yours, food markets, gas companies, ect that are to blame. Start being more responsible! You don't need another six dollars from me but I sure can use it. YOU'RE NUTS!

Based on your post it would appear you may be signed up for the 100 pages per month Instant Ink plan. If this is the case, and you print 15 pages per month or less you would probably be better served with a different plan. For example, you could sign up for the 10 pages per month plan for $0.99 per month. You might occasionally need to purchase ten additional pages for $1, but unused pages would roll over to the next month (up to three months total). Alternatively, you may find the 50 page per month plan at $3.99/month may meet your needs.

You obviously missed the point, and intent. It's disproportional to cost of living, and my fixed income. I am at the lowest possible cost rate. Your comment is without merit, understand, compassion, and empathy.

In your initial post you mentioned an increase. The ten page per month plan is still $0.99 per month and it appears that would meet your needs.. If you print fifteen pages per month you would need an additional $1 for ten extra pages on alternate months. Sorry if I do not understand something here, I am just going by what you said in your post.

Please pardon my misunderstanding.

I see from a Google search that HP is increasing the subscription prices in January 2024 as you say. In the end of the screenshot you show they say "We understand that everyone's needs are unique, and we want to offer you flexibility. If the new pricing does not align with your" and then cuts off. What does the end of this say? Do they offer alternatives?

It does appear that Instant Ink subscriptions are increasing for all the plans.
