It is one of the most important questions asked by those who are thinking of switching to HP Instant Ink, which is cheaper, this service or continuing to buy ink cartridges. The answer is very simple, but so that you can really understand why one option is better than the other, let’s see the advantages and disadvantages that each one offers.
HP Instant Ink is an ink replenishment service that works through printing plans, which we can freely choose and between which we can alternate with total freedom. It does not entail any kind of commitment, it works at home and without shipping costs, and also It doesn’t take into account the ink we useonly the pages we printed.
If we buy ink cartridges we have to worry about finding stores where they are sold at a reasonable price, we will have to spend a significant amount every time we need to change the cartridges, we will have to monitor the ink levels to avoid the ink running out at the worst possible time and not having replacements, and we will also have to control ink consumption to prevent our costs from skyrocketing.
HP Instant Ink is cheaper, more convenient and more sustainable
With HP Instant Ink you can print from just 1.49 euros per month. To be able to print by buying original HP ink cartridges you need to spend a lot more money, since a pack of tri-color cartridges and a cartridge for printing in black and white will cost you at least about 40 euros, depending on the printer model you have and the offers you find.
The HP305XL cartridges fit that price. With them you can print up to 200 pages in color and 240 pages in black and white, values that are approximate and vary depending on the coverage and the level of print quality. The higher the coverage and the higher the quality, the more ink we will use, and fewer pages we can print with these cartridges.
Depending on the use we make of the cartridges, the total number of pages we can print can be reduced by more than halfand with this our expenses will skyrocket, because we will be using more ink. This happens especially when printing high-quality photographs covering the entire paper, and also when printing graphics or black and white images.
With the HP Instant Ink service we won’t have this problem, because using more ink won’t mean we have to pay more. A page printed in full color and with high quality will cost us the same as one printed in black and white, which translates into significant savings that we will notice month after month.
If we choose HP Instant Ink with those 40 euros that the ink cartridges would cost us We will be able to print a total of 900 pages over three months.in full color and without ink consumption limitations. I think this makes it clear that HP Instant Ink is cheaper, and that it also allows us to print with total freedom.
But this service is not only cheaper, it is also more comfortable and sustainable, why:
- It works automatically. The printer monitors the ink levels and detects when they are low. If this happens, it places an order and sends new cartridges to your door before the ones you are using run out, with no shipping costs.
- It includes a recycling program that will allow us to conveniently recycle all the cartridges we use at no cost.
- Only use high-capacity Original HP ink cartridges, which helps reduce resource consumption and contributes to caring for the environment.
