Or, if you do buy one, don’t sign up for instant ink. Unless you are printing stuff on a daily basis, you will end up spending way more for ink (at the rate of $5/month) than if you just bought your ink at a Staples.
Not only that, if you realize you are being robbed, the ink cartridges you are using that where sent to you via the program; the minute you unenroll from instant ink your ink cartridges, which you paid for, will be rendered useless via a broadcast command from HP.
I bought a new Epson printer at Costco back in July. When I brought my new printer home, I logged into instant ink and dropped out of the subscription. I also instructed the payment service I was using to no longer honor requests from HP Instant Ink. It is December now, and I still get emails from HP asking me to update my payment source.
What will it take to get these ink pirates to stop harassing me?
As I said, don’t buy a printer from HP. It’s just not worth it, and in reality, you don’t actually own the printer or at least not the right to use it.
