A:Answer When you get your printer home, sign up for HP+ which is signing up for HP Instant Ink. You will need to be OK with HP seeing how often you use your printer. When the printer starts to get low on ink, they send you a box with new ink. The price per month depends on how many pages you think you will print. I believe $4.99 a month is for 50 pages. I find it saves on ink costs and I am very happy with the service.
To answer your question, after you sign up and get it going, the service is free for six months and you will be charged on the seventh month.
