Customers are saying

Customers recognize the high-quality ink and ease of use associated with the Instant Ink 100-Page Monthly Plan. Many appreciate the affordable price point for the convenience it offers. However, some users experienced compatibility issues with certain printers and found the monthly page limit restrictive. The plan's value proposition is centered around ink quality and convenience, but compatibility and page limitations are potential drawbacks.

This summary was generated by AI based on customer reviews.

    Avoid. Waste of time and defective cartridges

    Awful. If you prefer to save a few bucks to try to use print cartridges that are defective and spend an hour on the phone each month trouble shooting with unhelpful customer service then this is the program for you! Seriously, this is a ripoff... I lost serious time and money. Much happier buying full priced cartridges and having a working printer when I need it.

    NIGHTMARE EXPERIENCE

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I signed up for HP Instant Ink with my previous HP printer, and again with my new HP Envy in Feb 2019. Loved it. Suddenly, without reason or notice, my subscription was cancelled in April 2019. Two months later. I didn't know it was canceled. I started having print issues that grew over the next few months. Started getting messages that read "Printer Blocked". Didn't know what that meant until I researched. >>HP was blocking all my print jobs from my new HP laptop and my Note 8 phone.<< FORGET calling HP customer service and getting help. You MIGHT end up connecting with a human in a Chat, but it will be worthless and a waste of time. They can't help you....In the middle of a Chat, without notice, you suddenly get "transferred" to a "Level 2 technician" and all your previous chat info is lost and you have to start all over. This happens over and over. FINALLY, I called the Best Buy Geek Squad and she worked with me for an hour, but it did NOT help. However, she tried everything. She was amazing. Tomorrow I will take my new laptop and my new printer to Best Buy and see if they can completely STRIP all info from HP INSTANT INK from my printer. ☆I purchased my own ink cartridges and installed them☆. I worked for an hour and am finally able to print from my Note 8 phone, BUT NOT MY LAPTOP. That's why I will take them to Best Buy tomorrow. Bottom line is if Best Buy can't fix it, I will be forced to get another printer. JUST BECAUSE OF HP INSTANT INK. When you read that they "hold your printer Hostage", THEY DO. They BLOCK your print jobs. Thing is....I have NO idea why my subscription was canceled in April 2019, just 2 months into the new program. None of this is my doing or my fault. I leave you with this EXTREME WARNING.....HP Customer Service will not talk to you on the phone. You can't reach anyone, ever. They will NOT resolve your problem. (Best Buy Geek Squad helped me).

    I don't shop for ink anymore

    I was skeptical at first but when the ink was delivered straight to my house before I knew I needed it, I began to understand how convenient this was. I don't print a lot but with the different plans they have it ends up being worth it.

    HP instant ink is a scam don't do it

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I gave one star because there was no zero star, bought my 4100 HP printer a year ago and never again would I ever buy a HP printer. Went on this instant ink thing because it sounded like a good deal ,I use the printer for a small business and need it when i need it. the first ink they sent didn't work ,had to run down and buy one, than they sent two more and when I needed them I put them in, and they wouldn't work, i went on line and they said I wasn't connected to the internet, and it was, I could send something and it would spit out a blank sheet, than they said it was because I wasn't using their instant ink, so they would not let me use my own printer, they highjacked my printer, sent them a note saying I was buying a new printer and it wouldn't be a HP, they replied saying there was a bad part in mine that was not available anymore and offered me a discount, No thank you, I bought a Epson tank, love it

    Worst service ever! Do not do it!!!

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This is the worst service ever!! Do not do it!! Supposedly they know when you are short of ink and send it. I ran out and had no ink. I called and was told it had been mailed and would arrive in 13 days!!! I run a law office- I cannot wait 13 days. So I went to Office Depot and bought ink. I then canceled the service since clearly it was not working and I would not have ink when needed. My ink showed up 13 days later and I proceeded to use it. Today my printer would not print because I canceled the service and was using the instant ink! I have two boxes of instant ink that I have to throw away because my printer will not print with their ink!! I would not have canceled if they would have sent the ink in a timely manner. I was charged for the late ink that I now have to throw away. This is a horrible service and I am going to write reviews everywhere I can find to warn others of this absurd situation!

    Easy to sign up, very convenient to manage. I particularly appreciate the online tools the program offers to visualize how much I print. The rollover pages easily cover any months I print extra.

    Disappointing Service/ Poor Response

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I have been a instant ink user for over 10 years. The product was great at the start of service, but upon buying my latest replacement printer we had a software issue where we received no ink for the new printer and a plethora form the old. Upon contact they mailed new ink billing for new and offering nothing for their error. The customer service has been horrible, not understanding problem, I suspect language barrier issues. I am ready to dump all my hp products. 3 calls many hours to resolve and I still get shafted in the end for their error lots of ink we had to pay for for them to fix issue, with no offer to credit for the error. We will be looking for a new service provider. Id pick another brand moving forward.

    HP Ink is BIG mistake

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I am sorry I choose to subscribe to HP Ink. When my printer stopped printing anything requiring BLUE - and after exhausting ways to repair, I decided give up and buy a new printer. I canceled my HP Ink subscription and planned to use the remaining cartridges until I could replace the printer. BUT, once I canceled the HP Ink subscription, HP locked my printer so I was not able to continue to print with "their" cartridges. Then to make matters worse, 5 days after HP locked my printer down, I was billed one more payment. I have purchased a new printer and it is NOT an HP.

    They need another plan

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This works fairly well but hardly anyone will stay at the 50-page limit. Therefore you end up upgrading. I chose the 100-page plan which I go over every month. The problem is that HP needs another plan between the 100-page plan and the 300-page plan. I print over 100 pages per month, but I do not need anywhere near 300 pages. They have no method to share this thought with them, so I thought I would try this route.

    Love the monthly membership and that it keeps up with how much printing I've done and send me toner before running out so I don't have to go to the store in the middle of the night because I ran out ink.

    HP Instant Ink Issues

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    HP Instant Ink Beware Once you cancel your HP Instant Ink subscription your ink cartridges will no longer work. So if you just received a new supply of Instant Ink cartridges after paying your monthly fees, they will not work after your subscription is cancelled. I guess if you don't mind being locked in to HP this program may work for you.

    HP Instant Ink

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I would not recommend HP instant ink program. They sent me the wrong cartridges, they made it difficult to get replacements because they kept telling me I jadnt installed the cartridges they sent - which I explained were the wrong size and dint fit the printer. When I cancelled the plan they disabled my printing until I removed the new cartridges they finally sent. Its a money grab scam by HP. Terrible service.
