How do I pick a plan?

The best plan is based on your usage. If you don’t know how much you print, no problem, you can change or cancel your plan at any time,1 at no extra cost. Your Instant Ink customer dashboard will help you keep track of the number of pages you’ve printed for the month. The average family uses the 100-page plan and the average small business uses the 700-page plan.

What happens to my unused pages?

If you do not use all your plan pages in a month, the unused pages will be kept in your account as rollover pages.2 Ink plans can roll over 3x the number of pages in your plan (Example: 150 pages if on the 50-page plan).

How is Instant Ink different than Original HP Ink?

HP Instant Ink is an ink subscription service that uses Original HP Ink cartridges. With Instant Ink, ink is automatically delivered4 before you run out,5 so you always have cartridges on hand when you need them. Many customers save up to 50% on ink6 compared to buying cartridges individually.

What happens if you cancel HP Instant Ink?

If you decide to cancel your HP Instant Ink, you can go back to using HP original Standard or XL cartridges. HP Instant Ink cartridges will not work after the end of the current billing cycle in which you cancel. To continue printing after your billing cycle ends, make sure you have standard replacement ink cartridges ready to use in your printer.
