HP Instant Ink is based on pages, not cartridges. Choose a plan based on the number of pages you would like to print monthly. Your monthly fee allows you to use our subscription cartridges to print your plan pages and includes ink, delivery, and recycling.
HP Instant Ink is flexible. You can roll over unused pages month to month (the amount of pages you can accumulate varies by plan) or if you print more, you'll automatically purchase sets of 10-20 pages for £1.50 (pages per set varies by plan). Your plan can be changed anytime to accommodate your printing needs.
We send you HP Instant Ink subscription cartridges when you first sign up. Replacement cartridges are only sent when your printer tells HP you need more ink, and not on a monthly schedule.
HP Instant Ink is available for residents of the continental United States, Puerto Rico, Alaska, Hawaii, Canada, most European countries, some APJ countries/regions.
At this time, we are sorry we can't enroll customers residing in United States territories other than Puerto Rico, or with an APO/FPO/DPO address.

Yes, signing up for ink now is a great idea! That way we can ship you ink to have on hand and ready to go when you need it. Your service will start when you install your first HP Instant Ink subscription cartridge, which may have been shipped with the printer or sent to you by HP after confirming your enrolment in Instant Ink.
No, Instant Ink subscription cartridges are not sent monthly. We send you HP Instant Ink subscription cartridges when you first sign up, and additional replacement cartridges are sent as needed based on your ink use, not on a monthly schedule.
The subscription cartridges are high capacity, so most customers don't require frequent shipments. You must keep your printer connected to the Internet and your shipping address and payment method up to date to avoid service interruptions. An active Instant Ink subscription is required for these cartridges to print.
If you’re enrolled in Instant Ink, make sure to use the subscription cartridges that are shipped to you. We will not know when to send replacement cartridges if you use other cartridges.
For customers enrolling with a trial promotion or within 7 days during printer setup (or 14 days for business customers):
The service starts the day you enroll. This enables you to keep track of your page counts after you enroll, so you can make sure you are on the right page plan before your trial ends. The first billing cycle will end about 30 days after you enroll.
For customers enrolling 8 days or more after printer setup (or 15 days for business customers):
You can sign up anytime. After enrollment, you will be shipped new cartridges. Your service will begin when you insert one of the subscription cartridges. You will not be billed until you complete the 'Connect Printer' step.
Ongoing billing:
You will be charged each month at the end of the billing cycle when the trial is over. Since your monthly plan fee is the same every month unless you print additional pages, we will not send you a bill prior to charging your monthly fee.
You can go to your Instant Ink dashboard 'Print and Payment History' section and download invoices there. Remember to keep your printer connected to the Internet so you can get notifications about your account.
Don't worry, once you sign up for HP Instant Ink you can change your plan anytime if you realize that there's a better plan that suits your needs.
You can track how many pages you print in your Dashboard and upgrade or downgrade to any of the other plans.
HP Instant Ink is flexible. If you print more than your plan, additional pages are available in sets of 10-20 pages, depending on your plan, for only £1.50 per set. The amount of pages you can accumulate varies by plan. If you need to change plans, you can upgrade your plan in the current or next billing cycle. Downgrades are effective in the next billing cycle.
You can view or make changes at any time on your account page.
For more details, see the HP Instant Ink Terms of Service.
If you do not use all your plan pages in a month, the unused pages will be kept in your account as rollover pages. The amount of rollover pages you can accumulate varies by plan. (For example, if you have ink, you can roll over up to 150 pages if you are on the 50-page plan.) View this anytime on your account page.
If you have printed all of the pages in your plan and you have used all of your rollover pages, you can still easily print additional pages automatically. Additional pages are available in sets of 10-20 pages, depending on your plan, for only £1.50 per set.
When your printer is connected to the Internet, we can send you an email reminder when you are near printing all the pages in your plan. You can change your monthly plan by signing in to your account and selecting Change Plan. You can make a plan upgrade effective immediately rather than purchasing additional pages, if you choose.
To change your plan or cancel your service, sign in to your account.
You can upgrade your plan in the current or next billing cycle. Downgrades are effective in the next billing cycle.
Requests to cancel take effect at the end of your current billing cycle. Because the service bills at the end of each billing cycle, you will receive one final monthly charge, if applicable.
HP Instant Ink subscription cartridges only work while your printer is enrolled in HP Instant Ink service, so you will need to purchase traditional cartridges after your final billing cycle to continue printing.
For more details, see HP Instant Ink Terms of Service.
If you cancel Instant Ink on your printer, the HP Instant Ink subscription cartridges provided with your subscription will stop working in your printer even if they are not empty. You will have to replace all of them with traditional cartridges.
Yes! One of the advantages of HP Instant Ink is that you can print full colour photos, colour documents, or high-quality black and white pages, all for the same cost.
Since your monthly charge is based on pages, not the amount of ink you use, you never have to worry about printing in black and white to avoid using your colour ink cartridges.
