With HP Instant Ink, you don’t pay for the number of cartridges you use, but for the pages you print. Whether you print 10 pages a month or 300, there’s always a print plan that matches your usage. There are also special plans for (small) businesses. If you use fewer pages one month, you simply carry the remaining pages over to the next month. Need more pages occasionally? Then you can easily purchase extra pages. You can easily monitor your printing usage with the HP Smart app. You can cancel or change your HP Instant Ink plan at any time.

Never be without ink

With HP Instant Ink, you never have to be without ink again. The service automatically sends you new cartridges free of charge, even before your current ink runs out. The HP printer is connected to the internet and monitors your ink levels. This way, you always have enough ink without having to think about tracking or ordering it yourself. Shipping of the cartridges is completely free. You simply return old cartridges in the special envelope you receive with each cartridge delivery.

Easy to recycle
