Further to the question, "Do I need to replace both cartridges after cancelling subscription?" If I'm Stockholmed into sigiing up again to get something of value from my Black Ink purchased cartridge and I opt for "Free Printing" will I be able to use my purchased Black Ink to print in black without counters against pages that I would need to pay for?

Hi @tjesso

 

Yes, you need to replace all the ink cartridges. HP Instant Ink cartridges do not work after the end of your current billing period, and you are required to return them to HP. To continue printing after your billing cycle ends, make sure you have standard replacement ink cartridges ready to use in your printer.

 

Thanks!

I am so angry with the HP Instant Ink "program" that I am seriously considering junking my HP Printer and ALL HP products to include my HP computers/Tablets!  I too paid over 37 months to finally receive cartridges - figured - well I paid a lot of money to get some cartridges I could have purchased for much less.  I even made sure I limited my printing - after all - I was on a "number of pages budget".  I NEVER exceeded the monthly total and was way less than allowed.  I guess I was privileged to have a big company monitor my printer and ink to ensure I would NOT print too much and I certainly would NOT attempt to try another brand of Ink.  I guarantee that my next products will NOT be HP and I am seriously writing my association and treatment up for further review.
