How To Always Have Ink In Your Printer With HP Instant Ink

I cannot tell you how many times a year my son tries to print out a report for school (last minute of course) and there is no ink. We live in the middle of nowhere and going to the store at eight in the evening is not really an option. I am so excited to tell you about HP Instant Ink.

The ink replacement service was launched in 2013 and has gone from strength to strength. 

HP Instant Ink is an incredible ink replacement service designed to save consumers up to 50 percent on the cost of ink. This service is convenient and affordable as there is no annual fee and there are monthly plans starting as low as $0.99.

What Are The Different HP Instant Ink Subscription Plans?

Subscribers can choose from 4 different plans. 

1. Light printing plan is for up to 15 pages per month, which is $0.99 a month.
2. The occasional plan is for up to 50 pages per month, which is $2.99 a month.
3. The moderate plan is for up to 100 pages per month, which is $4.99 a month.
4. Finally, the frequent printing plan is for up to 300 pages per month, which is $11.99 a month.

Can I Roll Over Unused Pages That I Don’t Print?

If you do not use up all your pages in a month, you can rollover pages to another billing cycle.

For the light printing plan, you can roll over 45 unused pages.

For the occasional plan you can roll over 150 unused pages.

The moderate plan can roll over 300 unused pages.

Can I print In Black And White Or Color? 

The great news is you can print in either. It cost the same to print in black and white and color. The monthly fee is based on the number of pages you print, not what you print and how much ink you use.

With HP Instant Ink I never have to worry that when I want to print out a DIY project either for school or home that there is no ink left. I honestly do not have the time to worry about the ink levels in the printer. I work full time, blog and have 3 children to take here and there. HP Instant Ink is an instant stress reliever for me.

Review Of The HP Instant Ink Service 

HP sent a HP Envy printer so that I could test out the HP Instant Ink Service and print quality of their printers. The best part for me of using the HP Envy is that it is wireless. In our home we have 3 laptops, 4 tablets and 3 phones so we spend a lot of our time emailing files back and forth between electronics so we could print from the one laptop that was hooked up to the printer we were using. HP Envy makes printing as simple as one-click. I loved being able to print photos directly from my phone to the 4×6 Photo tray on the HP Envy.

I have always wanted to have our family name in a frame on the wall. I have seen numerous Pinterest pins with this type of DIY, and I wanted to create my own. I designed my file in Adobe Illustrator and sent it directly from my laptop to the printer wirelessly. I printed it out on a parchment type paper and mounted in a frame to put on our photo gallery wall. I am so pleased with how it turned out and how well my HP Envy printed it. The best part was that I had enough ink and did not have to stress if my kids used it all!
