Can I use Instant Ink and my own ink at the same time?

[JBLi]

Hi All / HP:

I just joined the InstantInk service and installed the cartrige.  My printer uses single color and single black.   I still have a lot of my own Black Inks.

I am wondering if I can us the color Instant Ink and my OWN black ink at the same time.   Aka, will it considered a page count if I only print to my own Black Ink?   

I understood that printing to Instant color or black instant ink are the same pricing;  but I just want to use up the Black Ink before they actually dry-up!

Thanks,

JB

@JBLi,

Thank you for showing your interest in HP Support Forums. It is a great place to find the help you need, from other users, HP experts, and other support personnel. I see from your post you are having issues with the Instant ink program. No worries, I'll be glad to help you.

As I understand you want to know if you use color Instant ink cartridge with black regular ink cartridge installed will the page count be counted, Yes, Once you install the Instant ink cartridges the page count starts. 

In case if you lots of regular black ink cartridge left, you can store it using air tight container and use it when you are in need.

HP Instant Ink plan fees are based on the number of pages that you print, not on how many ink cartridges you use. For more details, please follow this link: HP Instant Ink - What Is HP Instant Ink?

I hope this answers your question. Let me know if you need any further assistance. I'll be more than happy to help you.
