Important Information for Cancelling HP Instant Ink

If you do cancel your HP subscription, there are a couple of things that you might find useful to know:

  • When you cancel your HP subscription, you’ll need to return the Instant Ink cartridges back to HP. Don’t worry though, as this is very easy! All you need to do is place the cartridges in a returns envelope (which should have already been provided by HP) and take them to the nearest collection point. This is so the cartridges can then be recycled. If you do not have an envelope, you can order one directly from HP.
  • Once your subscription is cancelled, your Instant Ink cartridges will not work in the printer following the end of your current billing cycle, so make sure you have your replacements ready.
  • If you encounter any issues printing after you’ve cancelled your HP Instant Ink subscription, reach out to HP Instant Ink on 0207 660 6027.
