HP Instant Ink is a pay-per-month service that automatically supplies you with ink whenever your printer indicates that it is running out. It does not matter how much ink you use – the service is based on a per page basis, meaning you no longer have to worry about how much ink you are using. Instead each plan includes a certain number of pages you can print. Should you go over your page limit for the month you will simply be charged a small fee for the additional pages you have printed, depending on the plan you have selected. Here are the five available plans:
1. £0.99 – 15 pages per month, with only a £1 fee for every 10 pages over the limit
2. £1.99 – 50 pages per month, with only a £1 fee for every 10 pages over the limit, plus if you didn’t use up your 50 pages in the previous month, any leftover pages are carried over to the next 2 months, up to a maximum extra reserve of 150 pages
3. £3.49 – 100 pages per month, with only a £1 fee for every 10 pages over the limit, plus if you didn’t use up your 100 pages in the previous month, any leftover pages are carried over to the next 2 months, up to a maximum extra reserve of 300 pages
4. £9.99 – 300 pages per month, with only a £1 fee for every 10 pages over the limit, plus if you didn’t use up your 300 pages in the previous month, any leftover pages are carried over to the next 2 months, up to a maximum extra reserve of 900 pages
5. £22.49 – 700 pages per month with only a £1 fee for every 15 pages over the limit, plus if you didn’t use up your 700 pages in the previous month, any leftover pages can be carried over to the next 2 months, up to a maximum extra reserve of 2100 pages
No long-term commitment is necessary for this subscription service – you can cancel whenever you want with no additional fees or cancellation period. The day you insert your first set of Instant Inks is marked as the start of your billing month and will remain so for the duration of your subscription.
Alongside your Instant Inks, you will also receive a pre-paid recycling envelope to allow you to dispose of your used cartridges in an eco-friendly way! This is a freepost recycling service.

You can easily check how many pages you have printed, how many you still have left, as well as a variety of useful information by checking your HP Instant Ink account. Your HP Instant Ink account will be your hub for any information you need regarding your new Instant Ink service.
Changing your Instant Ink plan can be done via your HP Instant Ink account. If, after you have set up your printer and chosen your plan, you decide to switch over to a different plan, you can do so at any time you want. You can either change your plan with immediate effect, in which case your subscription fee will also be applied immediately, or you can choose to start your new plan at the start of your next billing month, in which case you will be billed for your new subscription on that given day. Please note that there is no option to downgrade back to the Free Instant Ink, as this is an introductory plan designed to introduce you to the benefits of the service.
Your new set of Instant Inks will be sent as soon as you have enrolled into the program. From there, you will be resupplied with new cartridges whenever your printer starts to run low on ink. There is no need for you to do anything, your printer will automatically inform us when it starts to run low, and we will send a new set of cartridges alongside a recycling envelope for when you need to dispose of them. New cartridges are ordered once the cartridges in your printer only have enough ink to print twice the number of average pages included in your monthly plan. Therefore, depending on your chosen printing plan, new inks will be ordered under the following conditions:
- £0.99 – New inks will be ordered once there is enough ink left for 30 pages
- £1.99 – New inks will be ordered once there is enough ink left for 100 pages
- £3.49 – New inks will be ordered once there is enough ink left for 200 pages
- £7.99 – New inks will be ordered once there is enough ink left for 600 pages
- £17.99 – New inks will be ordered once there is enough ink left for 1400 pages
No. Whether you choose to print text or pictures, the cost will remain the same. This means that even if you print full page photos with large amounts of colour, you will not be paying any additional fees.
Instant Inks are only available in mainland UK. Unfortunately, the Instant Ink service is currently not available in the following regions: The Channel Islands (Jersey, Guernsey, Alderney, Sark, Herm) and Gibraltar.
After inserting your first set of HP Instant Inks, your printer will start your billing cycle. This means that 30 days later your chosen billing method will be charged according to your printing plan, plus any additional pages you printed outside of the included amount, if any. If you have exceeded your page amount at the end of your billing cycle, you will also receive a bill detailing the number of pages as well as the charge amount.
Of course we can! Please do get in touch with us via the Contact Us section and we will gladly assist you.
