Welcome to the HP English Community --

Instant Ink is an OPTIONAL service.

Instant Ink is a print-by-page subscription.

Voluntary.

You need NOT sign up if the service is not useful to you.

Put another way:

NO - You do not need to have a credit card on file.

NO - you need NOT have an Instant Ink subscription to use the printer.

NO - you need not purchase ink directly from the Store/HP.com 

Shipment is free and the service is fast -- where you purchase HP Ink s a choice.

For any HP printer protected by Dynamic Security, you are obligated to purchase HP chipped cartridges.

You may purchase HP ink / HP chipped cartridge ink from any legitimate merchant you choose.
