I rarely use a printer so how will instant ink benefit me

[Amandanano]

I hardly ever use a printer so it will be switched off most of the time. Will instant ink communicate with my printer on the rare occasions when it's on, and keep me up to date for ink?

Hi @Amandanano,

Welcome to the HP Support Community

I understand you want to know how will instant ink benefit you

HP Instant Ink can be convenient even if you don’t use your printer often. Here’s how it works:
 

• Ink Monitoring: Instant Ink tracks your ink levels remotely, so it can tell when you’re running low, even if you don’t use the printer frequently.
• Automatic Refills: When your ink is low, Instant Ink will automatically send you new cartridges before you run out, so you won’t have to worry about running to the store.
• Printer Communication: Your printer needs to be connected to the internet for Instant Ink to work. If you only use your printer occasionally, Instant Ink can still monitor your ink levels during those rare times your printer is online.
• Cost Efficiency: Since Instant Ink is a subscription service, you pay a monthly fee based on your usage. This can be more cost-effective than buying individual cartridges, especially if you print sporadically.
   

In short, even with infrequent use, Instant Ink can help ensure you always have ink available when you need it, without the hassle of tracking and buying cartridges on your own.
