HP Ink

Has this ever happened to you? You are in the middle of printing out something important (or even some photos) and you start to notice some streaking? Uh-oh! You are running out of ink. Ugh!

I have had that happened to me more times then I care to remember.

I used to have a home business making personalized party favors, buttons, personalized candy wrappers and other things that involved my printer and ink – A LOT of ink. It seemed like I was heading out to the store every other week, sometimes once a week. It was frustrating.

I have to admit that I didn’t check ink levels as frequently as I should have. If I did I would have known what color/colors needed to be replaced before it was too late. There was nothing worse than being in the middle of an order and having to stop everything to rush out to the store.

These days I don’t have my home business, but I still go through a decent amount of ink thanks to my kids. They use the printer for homework and school projects. Sometimes I am unaware of how much ink they used until I run out when I am trying to print out a document or contract.

Imagine how convenient it would be if your computer was smart enough to tell you that it needed ink? Well, I can’t say that computers are smart (they don’t have a brain or cognitive skills), but there is a way that they can let you know that they need more ink thanks to the HP Instant Ink program.

HP Instant Ink Program

This is how the program works.

Your HP printer will tell the HP Instant Ink program when you are in need of ink. You don’t have to worry about it. HP will automatically send you the ink when you need it along with an envelope to return the empty ink cartridge for recycling.

Talk about convenient. No more having to stop what I’m doing to go to the store, pick up ink, wait online to pay and drive back home. You can get the ink that you need while you are at home.

Each ink cartridge should yield 500 pages.

The plans are very affordable. They range in price from $2.99 – $9.99 a month, depending on how much you print.

HP Instant Ink

 

If you don’t print out the allotted pages you can roll over up to a month’s worth of page the next month.

There is no annual fee and you can change or cancel your plan whenever you want.

I’m currently on the $2.99 plan. That is a small fee to pay for not having to go to the store to buy ink.

The HP Instant Ink cartridges actually have a bit more ink in them compared to the ones you buy off the store shelves so they will last longer too.

Your plan is not based on how many cartridges you use so you can feel free to print as often as you like – even colorful photos.

HP Instant Ink also saves you money. Check out your possible savings each year using HP Instant Ink compared to purchasing the cartridges from the store.

Savings

That is a big savings.

In order to take advantage of this service you need an eligible HP printer.

Printers

In addition you need internet connection, e-mail and a card for billing.

Whether you are an infrequent printer or someone who burns through ink cartridges rapidly, the HP Instant Ink is a valuable service. It pay for it’s self with the savings and time saved from having to keep on top of your ink levels and running to the store to purchase more.

At the time I am writing this I have not had a need to replace any of my ink cartridges. When I do I will up date this post and share my thoughts.

For more information visit the HP Instant Ink website.

  1. This program sounds great….I don’t always print stuff and I guess it goes in spurts so this would be great!

  7. I love that you have the option to roll over a certain number of pages based on your plan – that’s great for months you’re not printing as much as you normally do!

  10. I like that your HP Printer is smart enough to tell the HP Instant Ink program when you need ink. With 2 kids printing schoolwork all the time, we often run out of ink.

  27. I like that HP will automatically send you the ink when you need it along with an envelope to return the empty ink cartridge for recycling.
    Thank you!

  28. I love the fact that your ink just gets shipped to you. This would definitely save me money in gas. The closest store to me to get ink is about 20 miles away.

  37. What I like best about the HP Instant Ink program is that there is no annual contract you have to sign.

  38. I most like that if you don’t print out the allotted pages you can roll over up to a month’s worth of page the next month.

  40. I like that The HP Instant Ink cartridges have a bit more ink in them compared to the ones you buy in the stores.

  41. I like the savings. With the way things are today we need to save as much as we can where ever we can.

  44. I love that the ink will be sent automatically, and I won’t have to worry about running out.

    Thanks for the chance to win!

  45. I like that there is no annual fee and you can change or cancel your plan whenever you want:) AND it is also very convenient~thank you.

  53. I like that it automatically sends ink when you get low. I am always running out at inconvenient times.

  54. I like that your plan is not based on how many cartridges you use so you can feel free to print as often as you like – even colorful photos.

  56. I like that ink is automatically sent to your home when your ink is running low. I often forget to pick up printer ink when mine is getting low and then don’t have ink when I really need it.

  59. I love how affordable it is! The cost of ink is outrageous and I can’t always buy it like I would like now because of the expense. This sounds amazing!

  65. This is a brilliant program. The printer will nag us that it is running out of ink, but the nags are so early we end up ignoring them for weeks as we don’t print much. What I love, the price is good for a greater amount of ink. Don’t think I will feel guilty that I could do better by watching for sale prices.

  66. I sounds like an absolute God’s send! Not having to go to the store to get ink. Where I live I have to drive over an hour to get to a store to buy ink so that would be absolutely fabulous!!!!

  69. I can’t wait until they add more printers to the list. I could use a printer ink program like this for my business.

  71. I like the options for plans…because I have some months where I do alot of printing and some months where I don’t need to do so much!

  74. I like that there is no annual fee and you can cancel anytime you want

  77. I definitely love the savings in this program! Thank you for having such a nice giveaway.

  88. I love that there is no annual fee so you can cancel anytime, which would be crazy because it’s so convenient and saves money… you also have to factor in gas when you go buy it! So this is a great deal!

  91. I like best that you can save lots of money and that the ink is coming from a reliable source.

  92. The savings! Three of our kids are teenagers so between school and personal stuff, they print A LOT. It feels like we spend so much on ink and are buying it every time I turn around.

  94. I love that you can pick the level most appropriate for you and you can roll over up to one month of unused printing. Thank you for the wonderful giveaway!

  97. Apart from the fact that it seems cheaper I really like that it tells me when I need ink. I never remember to check and it invariably runs out when I am in the middle of printing something I need right then.

  104. My favorite part is how much money you can save I do a lot of printing and this would really save me a lot of money

  109. If you don’t print out the allotted pages you can roll over up to a month’s worth of page the next month.

  115. Other than the savings, I really like not running out of ink. I get so tired of not having more ink!

  135. I like the savings it gives you and that the printer orders the ink. I don’t have to a thing but change the ink when it arrives.

  138. Saving money – I can choose the program set for me – and no more – oh shoot,I have to run to the store before you can print your school work – LOL

  139. I like that I don’t have to run to the supply store and struggle to remember which kind of cartridge, exactly, my particular printer takes.

  141. I like that the HP Instant Ink cartridges actually have a bit more ink in them compared to the ones you buy off the store shelves so they will last longer.

  144. I like the different option plans.. and they have more ink in them than actual ones you buy at stores

  146. I print a lot so the HP Instant Ink program would be great savings for us.

  147. I love that you can change plans as often as you like. I do a lot of printing and i think this is a great deal.

  153. I really like that it will save me some money on ink. Usually, ink runs around the same price as some cheap printers.

  161. What I like best about the HP Instant Ink program is the convenience. Just as they stated… no more having to stop what I’m doing to go to the store and pick up ink.

  168. We print out a lot of things each month. I’d love not to have to write down the printer number and then hunt for it at the store. This would make ink hunting so much easier. And if it saves money as well as time, then that’s a bonus.

  169. i like i select the plan and they take care of everything else. What a great way to replace the ink.

  176. I like the roll over option because we are busy some months and never home, but then there are other months that we do not go anywhere. Thank you

  178. I would love to win this printer & the ink program seems spectacular for me…I always ran out at worse time on old printer that stopped working …this would be awesome win THANX FOR OPPORTUNITY & HAPPY NEW YEAR 2014 🙂

  180. I love that there is no annual fee and you can cancel at any time that is important to me.

  195. I like that you can choose the plan you want and change it or cancel at any time, thanks!

  202. It sounds like a good idea and there is no fee and you can cancel whenever you want. Thanks for having this contest.
