HP announced the launch of a new
printer subscription service
named "
HP All-In Plan
" that lets customers
rent printer hardware
and automatically receive
ink cartridge refills
for a
monthly fee
.
With the service, HP promises conveniences like at-home ink delivery and 24/7 customer support. The program offers subscribers their choice of three HP printer models to use: the HP Envy, HP Envy Inspire, or HP OfficeJet Pro.
The “HP Instant Ink” subscription service offers customers three printer models to choose from — the HP Envy, HP Envy Inspire, or HP OfficeJet Pro - with monthly rental fees ranging from $6.99 to $12.99. Subscribers also select a monthly page allowance, with prices increasing sharply for more pages.
There is no upfront hardware purchase required under the monthly plans. In contrast, buying the printers outright generally costs between $200 to $300 retail, plus additional expenses for replacement ink cartridges at around $27 per cartridge.
A key perk of subscribing is that ink cartridge delivery and recycling are included free for all printer models.
Subscribers simply select how many pages they estimate needing to print per month when signing up. HP offers page allowance tiers ranging from 20 pages per month up to 1,500 pages monthly.
Pricing scales linearly with higher page count allowances. For the HP Envy printer, page allowance pricing is:
- 20 pages per month: $6.99
- 50 pages per month: $8.99
- 100 pages per month: $10.99
- 300 pages per month: $16.99
If subscribers exceed their selected monthly cap, HP will charge an overage fee of $1 per additional 10 to 15 pages printed.
Sensors inside the rented HP printers continually monitor ink levels. When ink runs low, printers automatically ping HP to ship replacement cartridges directly to the subscriber's home at no extra fee.
This helps eliminate frustrations with printers unexpectedly running out of ink. It also provides the convenience of proactive ink delivery based on actual usage patterns.
HP said subscribers can upgrade to a new printer model after two years or continue renting their existing device.
The company positions its Instant Ink subscription as providing a "worry-free" printing experience by handling hardware, ink and maintenancewhile charging a simple flat monthly rate.
