The Instant Ink program is a subscription for a certain number of pages per month. A draft black only page with one line of text counts the same as a full page color photograph. If you print a lot of photographs the ink savings would be many times the nominal 50% savings for Ink.
Edit - here is a quote from the Instant Ink page:
On a similar note, Normal and Best modes have very similar ink usage. Draft mode uses about half the ink. Plain paper settings use a small fraction of the ink used on photo paper (even if the same thing was printed with both paper types).
