    I choose to use Instant Ink because I don’t print a lot and it still beats buying the carts. HP ships them to me for free and automatically before I run out and gives me return postage for the empties to be recycled.

    They also don’t have different rates for B/W and Color so I just print everything in color.

    I dont stress over $1/mo (or $1.50/mo if this increase hits me). I’ve had this printer for 2yrs on the cheapest plan and I’ve still not paid the full price of a set of cartridges.

    I’m sure I’ll be down votes for saying anything positive about the program but whatever. It works fine for me.

      Unless you REALLY need color, just buy a Brother BW laser printer. Toner doesn’t dry up. It is all but guaranteed to be the cheapest option. I bought the scanner BW laser printer combo like 8 years ago for $130.
