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

 

I am guessing "earned free ink" means you have been offered an Instant Ink subscription Trial / Promotion.

 

Reminder for those reading --

The Instant Ink Subscription Service contract is OPTIONAL.

AND

Please do Read about the service before enrolling.

 

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

What to do?

 

Contact Instant Ink Support --

Ask about current promotions and / or any issues you have now.

 

OR

 

Wait here for an agent to find and respond to your question(s).

If you wish to skip the how-to, details, including important service contract and cancellation information, scroll down to "Your faster option".

 

Review

 

The "free trial" is a set period during which you are not charged the monthly fee for your plan.

 

True, should you go over your plan page limit, you are charged per set for "X" sets of pages as used.

 

Ink is included at no extra charge - this is true regardless of the plan you select.

10 pages or 700 pages - Ink is included as part of the plan.

 

Reminder

HP Instant Ink service is a legal contract --

There are obligations and responsibilities for both HP and you, the customer.

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

 

What is an Instant Ink Promotion / Trial ?

 

The offer is generally for a one month or longer trial to HP Instant Ink subscription service.

 

To get the trial, you must sign up, select a plan, and commit to the print-by-page subscription model.

 

An HP Instant Ink subscription is a contact for service - ink is included in that service.

 

The trial is a suspension of the monthly plan costs during the trial period.

 

The printer must be connected to the Internet (Web Services) during the Trial and for the duration of the contract.  Connection is used by service to monitor plan usage status and by the printer to request ink.

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

 

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.

 

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

and

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

 

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

 

Who Benefits?

 

Instant Ink is an excellent service for those who print regularly, print high-density documents or artwork, or perhaps print lots of homework.  For example, those who benefit the most include Teachers, musicians, writers who like hard copy, large families, small business offices, community centers, churches, and others who love -- or need -- to print on paper.
