On-demand services have become a very popular option in the general consumer market, and HP Instant Ink was HP’s answer to that growing interest from consumers who are increasingly looking for simplify everything around your printer, including both the supply of consumables and their recycling.
What is HP Instant Ink? We can define it as an ink replenishment service that works on demand, but we would be being simplistic, since deep down this service is much more than that. Unlike traditional services, in which you have to take care of almost everything, with HP Instant Ink you can completely forget about ink, and you will have absolute control about your subscription.
You’re in control because when you sign up for HP Instant Ink, you don’t have to make any commitments, and you can control everything related to the status of your subscription online. So, for example, if you need to change plans you can do it in seconds, and without wasting time calling on the phone or giving explanations. The same happens if, for any reason, you decide to unsubscribe for a while, you could do it through your account, in a moment, and then you could sign up again whenever you wanted.
HP Instant Ink has been designed with the user in mind, and that’s why it’s totally free of commitments, and its operation is totally transparent. If you decide to subscribe, you can stay as long as you want, and leave with the same ease with which you entered.
At HP Instant Ink you can leave when you want, but you’d rather stay
And the reason is very simple, because of all the advantages it offers in terms of savings, comfort and sustainability. Think, for a moment, about everything you have to do to maintain your printer and not spend a lot of money using it:
- Control ink levels if you don’t want them to run out at the worst possible time.
- Go out and buy new cartridges, or order them online paying, in most cases, shipping costs.
- Reduce the cost of ink. If you print a lot in color, and in high quality, you could wear out the cartridges very quickly, and you would have to buy others, with the significant expense that this entails.
- If you want to take care of the environment, you also have to find a way to recycle the cartridges you use.
HP Instant Ink puts an end to all those problems, and does not ask you for anything in return since, as we have said, it has no commitment. when you sign up, You choose between the five plans it offers:
- 15 pages per month for 0.99 euros: you can expand in packs of 10 pages per
one euro. - 50 pages per month for 2.99 euros: you can expand in packs of 10 pages per
one euro. - 100 pages per month for 4.99 euros: you can expand in packs of 10 pages per
one euro. - 300 pages per month for 11.99 euros: you can expand in packs of 10 pages
for one euro. - 700 pages per month for 24.99 euros: you can expand in packs of 15 pages
for one euro.
Depending on the plan you choose, you can print a certain number of pages for a fixed monthly fee. It doesn’t matter how you print them or how much ink you use, so you can print everything you want in color and with high quality. You will no longer have to worry about this, and if you need to print more you can buy additional page packs or change your plan. With HP Instant Ink a color page costs the same as a black and white page, which means significant savings even in the short term, especially if you like to print photos and drawings.
You’ll never have to worry about ink consumption again, plus you will never run out of ink again, nor will you have to waste time going to the store to buy. HP Instant Ink works in an automated way and at home, and they also include a free recycling program, which means that:
- The printer starts to control the ink levels automatically. When it detects that the levels are low, it requests new units without us having to do anything.
- The order is registered with HP, and within approximately 10 days we will receive, at our doorstep, a new pack of cartridges free of shipping costs. We will only have to collect them, and install them in the printer to be able to continue using it.
- There is no type of limit on how many cartridges we can receive.
- When we use up a pack of cartridges, we can recycle them using the postage-paid envelope included with this service.
And what happens if I don’t spend all the pages of my plan?
Nothing happens, these accumulate for the next month. Thus, for example, if you have signed up for the 100 pages per month printing plan, and you only spend 50 pages, for the following month you will have accumulated those 50 pages that you did not consume (150 pages in all). This accumulation of pages works permanently, that is, month by month, so you don’t lose your pages.
In case one month you need to print more pages than your plan includes, you have two options: you can buy additional page packs for one euro, or you can upgrade to a higher plan. When you upgrade to a higher plan you can choose that this has immediate effects. This is, in many cases, the most profitable option, so take advantage of it.
So that you can manage your subscription in the best possible way, HP Instant Ink will always send you a notice when the pages of your plan are close to being exhausted. That way, you’ll have time to decide what you want to do: keep printing until you use up your pages, buy additional page packs, or upgrade.
