Please Note: It is not possible to use HP Instant Ink without a subscription. HP Instant Ink is a service that requires a monthly fee.
With a subscription, users can print a certain number of pages each month and have ink cartridges automatically sent to them when their ink levels are low. Without a subscription, the service is not accessible.
Use regular HP inks
After canceling the service, you will need to use regular HP Cartridges in order to resume printing.
Find Regular HP Cartridges
Look for standard HP cartridges that are designed to work with your printer model. These cartridges can be easily found at various retail stores or online shops that sell printer supplies.
Remove the Instant Ink Cartridge
If you already have an Instant Ink cartridge installed in your printer, remove them carefully. Make sure to follow the printer’s instructions for cartridge removal to avoid any damage to the printer.
Replace the Regular HP Cartridges that you have bought
Once you have the regular HP cartridges, insert them into your printer following the manufacturer’s guidelines. Ensure that the cartridges are correctly placed and securely fitted.
You Will Be Monitoring Your Ink Levels Manually
Just keep in mind that without a subscription, you’ll need to monitor your ink levels manually and order new cartridges when necessary.
So, if you prefer a more hands-on approach to managing your printing needs and don’t mind purchasing ink as you go, using HP Instant Ink without a subscription could be the right choice for you.
