Subscribe to HP Instant Ink services and get the best deals : Despite the major breakthroughs in printing services and print technology, printing costs still remain quite expensive and come across as a common complaint. Consumers tend to invest too much money in printing services. Generally speaking, the higher the printer’s cost, the lower is ink consumption cost. However, for the all-in-one printers or budget-friendly inkjet printers, the cost factor is too expensive. Ink cartridges tend to deplete pretty fast considering their modest capacities of ink storage.
HP has always been aware of this complaint. As a result, they have developed some innovative strategies to cut the costs of ink consumption using their very own subscription-based program known as the HP Instant Ink program. Introduced in 2013, the HP Instant Ink program gained great recognition and grew its base to over 2 million subscribers. The HP Instant Ink program supports a wide range of HP Printers which you can view from here: http://www8.hp.com/us/en/instant-ink/overview.html#&pd1=3
HP Insta Ink is subscription-based, which means that you need to pay them a monthly fee to print a defined number of pages every month. Their plans are structured on the number of prints per month and not on the number of cartridges you may consume. There is a rollover option available in their plans, and if you exceed the number of prints allowed per month, then you pay an additional price but the base monthly price still remains the same.
In order to subscribe to HP Instant Ink, please follow the steps below.
