Hi @JCfromJC,

 

Depending on your printer model and plan, you might be able to pause your Instant Ink printer subscription for up to 6 months.

 

  • Some printers and plans are not eligible.
  • LaserJet printers and printers enrolled in Instant Ink for Business are not eligible.
  • During a subscription pause, your normal plan and monthly fees are suspended. You can continue to use any pages in your rollover balance.
  • Months paused during a free trial period are lost and the free trial period is not extended.
  • If you have a paper add-on service, it is also paused.
  • A subscription pause takes effect in the next billing cycle. You are charged your normal plan fee for the current billing cycle.
  • At the end of a pause, normal monthly billing starts again. You can pause again after two billing cycles are completed.

So after every 2 billing cycles, you can pause >> no restrictions and the pause time can be up to 6 months!

Thank you for your detailed response.  It is very helpful. 

The follow-up question I have is whether there is a limit to the number of pause cycles I can activate as long as they are limited to 6 months and I have 2 paid months between the pause cycles. 

Thank you
