Using excess InstantInk cartridges when temporarily cancelling Instant Ink service

[GatesO]

Hello,

Paying for InstantInk, based upon an HP-determined monthly fee model, I wound up with excess Instant Ink cartridges.  Since I don't need any more cartridges until after I use up this excess inventory, I cancelled my InstantInk subscription.  My plan was to rejoin after using the excess inventory.

After cancelling my InstantInk service, I now am not able to priint using those cartridges.  

Given this would be a very consumer-unfriendly program, with artificial lockin, I'm assuming there is a way to use my excess InstantInk cartridges, especially since those have been paid for through my subscription.

Best,

Gates

No, once you cancel your subscription ink cartridges you received will not work anymore.
