We had an instant ink account but canceled it to not have a monthly charge. We are using cartridges

[Karey1]

do we have to be a member in HP Ink to use corteges that we bought while being a member?

Hi @Karey1,

Welcome to HP Support Community.

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

No, you do not need to be an HP Instant Ink subscriber to use cartridges that you purchased while being a member. Once your Instant Ink subscription is canceled, you can switch to using regular cartridges without any issues.

However, the cartridges you received through Instant Ink might have been labeled as "Instant Ink" cartridges, which are slightly different in that they track ink usage for the subscription plan. These cartridges will still work in your printer, but they may display a warning on the printer or in the software because they are designed for use under the Instant Ink program.

If you’ve switched to regular cartridges, you should be able to use them without needing to be a part of the Instant Ink program. Just make sure to properly set up the printer for standard cartridges, and everything should work as normal.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
