Do you first have to purchase the original ink cartridges generally $60-$70 Do you have to first purchase the initial ink cartridges that range at like $60-$70 when purchasing ink both color and black or can you just buy the printer and then this monthly service?

You just buy the printer, sign up, and when the ink runs out from the cartridges that came with the printer, you install the ones that come in the mail.

No you don't. You just pay monthly and they provide you with the cartridges.

Just buy the printer and the monthly service.

New ink cartridges come with your new printer when you buy it. When you set up your printer and install your cartridges it will prompt you to set up an HP account (if you don't have one yet) and your printer will connect with HP and they will monitor your ink levels automatically. When your ink is low, they will send your new cartridges. 

So, to answer your question, NO, you do not have to buy any cartridges. You just pay the monthly InstaInk fee for the plan that you choose. HP takes care of everything else!!! Very convenient and very low cost!!! I hope this answered your question. Have a great day!!

There is about a week delay before it arrives at your residence. I purchased a new HP Office Pro 8610 which came with a supply of ink.

You only buy the printer that contains some beginners cartridges and the program ink that you want , but they don't require for us to bougth the expensive cartridges

You can just sign up for the monthly plan you want at the time of purchase. With a new printer you do get starter ink but the instant ink is delivered almost immediately so you won't run out of ink and can change plans without any problem.

No.
When you purchase the printer it will come with ink in the box. When that ink is about to run out you will be sent new ink and that is when your monthly service charge starts.

We did not purchase any ink besides what came with our printer. When we created an account for our instant ink on the HP website, they shipped us cartridges, but they did not start counting our pages until we actually installed the cartridges in our printer. We were able to us up what ink came with the printer first.
