Look, we’ve all been there—that moment when you need to print something crucial, and your printer gives you the dreaded “low ink” warning.

Internal panic ensues…

Thankfully, it’s 2025, and HP Instant Ink is here to save you from that particular circle of tech hell. Right now, they’re offering KnowTechie readers a sweet $10 credit for new subscribers.

Here’s how it works: HP’s ink subscription service starts at just $1.49 per month (yes, really) to $18.99, and it’s basically like having a psychic ink fairy that knows when you’re running low and ships new cartridges before you hit empty.

The best part? You can save up to 50% compared to buying ink the old-fashioned way.

What we dig about it:

• Automatic ink delivery before you run out
• Pay by pages printed, not cartridges used
• Super flexible plans you can change whenever
• They handle recycling with prepaid envelopes
• Color prints cost the same as black & white

The catch? Your printer needs to be connected to the internet so HP can monitor your ink levels. But let’s be honest – your printer’s probably already online judging you for printing those memes anyway.

Is HP Instant Ink Worth it?

For many users, HP Instant Ink provides good value and convenience. It’s especially beneficial if you:

• Print regularly but not in highly high volumes
• Want to avoid running out of ink unexpectedly
• Print a mix of color and black-and-white pages
• Prefer the convenience of automatic ink delivery

However, it may not be the best option if you rarely print or have very inconsistent printing needs. Consider your typical monthly print volume to determine if a subscription would be cost-effective for you

Whether you’re running a small business or just printing an ungodly amount of recipes you’ll never actually cook, HP Instant Ink takes the headache out of keeping your printer fed and happy.

Grab your $10 credit and never do the ink cartridge shuffle again.
