HP raising Instant Ink subscription pricing significantly
(www.ghacks.net)
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
I actually have a HP printer with instant ink. When it first launched it was great, there was a "free" tier that was like up to 10 pages free per month.
I don't print a lot but like having a printer for the odd job so that was ideal for me. Now and again a new ink cartridge would arrive and I just didn't think about it.
But they took away the free tier, so I've been on that £0.99 plan which is like 15 pages a month. I put up with it because it was convenient enough to not have to worry about ink, but I was still pissed off at the rug pull.
If they do raise the price in the UK, I'll just sell the printer and buy a new one that does super cheap ink.
Any recommendations out there?
I have two Epson ecotank printers, one at home and one for small business. Not cheap, but the ink that comes with the printer lasts for years. That is at 30 pages a month or so. Avoid all inkjet printers with replaceable ink cartridges.
I have a Epson printer and the damn thing can only be setup through their official app, which requires location services to be enabled. It also refuses to print documents from any device that doesn't have the Epson app installed.
Never buy a printer without a USB cable.
My Epson eco tanks don’t need any app for setup or printing. What model is yours?
Epson XP 2150
