Abundantly clear landing page which calls it a printing subscription, explains exactly what you pay for and what happens when you cancel, and how to continue printing with your own purchased ink after you cancel is "misleading". Definitely.


A landing page that doesn't mention pages until you scroll halfway down to their pricing plans and see "10 pages/mo.", the details of the plan hidden behind a collapsed accordion, adding a subscription to all new printers to lock users in. _Definitely_ not misleading.


> You can cancel or change your plan anytime. If you don't use all of your pages, they automatically rollover to the next month.

> HP Instant Ink uses high-volume cartridges, pricing based on pages printed, and direct-to-customer shipping delivered only when you run low.

> You’ll get your first cartridges when you sign up and then receive replacement cartridges based on how much you print—not every month, like other subscriptions.

Ok, Jan.

This was called out in literally my very first reply to you. I'm done with this bullshit. I'd say have a good day, but I'd rather hope you didn't.


Sorry, Ctrl + F only found "Can I change or cancel my plan anytime?". The rest of those are hidden in those accordions (I assume, didn't check). Hope you have a good Monday and your printer mysteriously stops working.


Those three quotes are literally not in the FAQ but go off sis.

You really can't bother to even look at the page can you? Jesus fucking Christ, the audacity.


Are you gaslighting me?

Ctrl + F "high-volume cartridges" = no results found

Ctrl + F "first cartridges" = no results found

Edit: And this is the page I'm looking at https://www.hp.com/us-en/shop/cv/instantink


https://instantink.hpconnected.com/us/en/l/v2

The first result of your precious Google search.


Sorry that you use Google. Very confusing for them to have two landing pages for the same service on separate domains with basically the same SEO score.
