Welcome to the HP Community --

 

You might be on one of the lower number of pages per month plans.

 

Ink is included with each plan -- how long the ink lasts depends on how quickly it is used.

 

The plan model is built on pages printed and not the amount of ink used.

 

If you print less and use less ink, shipments can be fewer and farther between.

 

True --

Ink should be sent when the printer notifies the service that ink supplies are depleted and a shipment is needed.

 

 

-- What is?

-- Where is my ink

-- Contact Instant Ink Support

 

 

 

--------------------------------------------

What is Instant Ink?

 

HP Instant Ink is a Print-by-Page subscription service for which you are charged a monthly fee for a set number of printed pages.  (Each side of the paper is counted as a separate Page.)

 

While there is no additional charge for the ink, the subscription is not free and does charge each month.

 

IMPORTANT -- Ink is supplied only with an active subscription -

After the service is terminated by you or HP, all subscription ink cartridges stop working and must (should) be returned to HP.

 

Selecting the right number of pages for your plan is important.

--------------------------------------------

What is "Free Ink"?

 

There is no extra cost for ink.

 

Ink is provided as part of your subscription - use a drop or use a cup full, ink is included at no extra cost.

 

Important

 

  • All ink activated by the plan and all ink sent to you works as along as the trail / subscription service is active.

and

  • After the initial Ink Kit is mailed out, ink is sent (only) when the printer notifies the service that ink is depleted and a shipment is needed.

and

  • Subscription / Instant Ink cartridges remain the property of HP and should be returned to HP at close (termination) of the service contract.
