What constitutes "a page" for HP Instant Ink

[Steve988]

How is a "page" defined for HP Instant Ink page usage? If I print a 600 dpi 5x7 color photo on my HP Envy 7640, is that a single page? In terms of ink usage, I would think that printing a 600 dpi 5x7 color photo should use quite a bit more ink than printing a black & white 8.5x11 text document with no graphics, but do both those print jobs count as a single "page" for HP Instant Ink?

Also, I am very surprised that I have not been able to get an answer to this question on the HP Support/Help pages and Discussion Forums as well as the documentation for the Instant Ink program. I would think that it would be a common question from HP Instant Ink users, so why is it so hard to find the answer?
