HP Instant Ink - Enrolling in HP Instant Ink

Learn more about HP Instant Ink: how to enroll, check minimum requirements, take advantage of free trial and promotional offers, re-enroll, add another printer, enroll a replacement printer sent by HP, and add a prepaid card.

Learn about HP Instant Ink

HP Instant Ink is a printing service exclusive to HP printers: a way to print that saves you time and money. Here is how it works.

Choose a printing plan based on the number of pages you expect to print in a month.
When you enroll and provide a shipping address, a set of HP Instant cartridges is shipped to you.
Your service starts immediately upon enrollment using the cartridges that shipped with your printer.
If you enroll for the trial offered during printer setup, your free months of service start right away.
After the trial period, you are billed at the end of your billing cycle each month.
Instant Ink monitors your usage and automatically ships ink or toner cartridges before you need them.
You only receive Instant Ink cartridges when you need them so you may not receive them every month.
Shipping and cartridge recycling are included with your service.
When you print less than your plan amount, unused pages roll over up to the maximum for your plan.
If you print over your plan amount, additional pages are added to your monthly bill.
Color, black and white, and photo prints are counted the same way.
Upgrade, downgrade, or cancel your service at any time with no extra fees or penalties. Instant Ink cartridges only work while your plan is active.

For more information, go to HP Instant Ink.

The paper is engineered to support a wide range of everyday color printing. Other papers are not supported currently. Replacement reams are shipped when your printer tells HP you need more paper, not by the month.
