What to Expect When Suspending Your Subscription
When you choose the "I'm cancelling temporarily" option for your HP Instant Ink subscription, it signifies a pause in your service rather than a permanent termination. While the exact terms can vary, generally:
- Ink Cartridges: HP Instant Ink cartridges associated with your plan typically cease to function after your current billing cycle ends or a brief grace period. You will then need to use standard HP cartridges purchased separately for printing.
- Billing: Your monthly billing for the HP Instant Ink plan will usually be suspended for the duration of the temporary cancellation.
- Reactivation: Should you decide to resume your service in the future, you can generally do so by logging back into your HP Instant Ink account and following the steps to reactivate your subscription or select a new plan.
