    I use Instant Ink in the US, and I haven’t received an email about a price increase.

    I know no one wants to hear this, based on past experience, but I’ll say it anyway: The plan has worked fine for us. Our ink costs went from $60-$80/year to $12. The printer works fine, too; we’ve not had any problems with it. Obviously we don’t print a ton, but we do print enough that we want to have a printer. If we did print a ton of stuff, I’d definitely go a different direction than Instant Ink, but for our light use, it works fine.

      If you were paying $60/year to print, I’d say you were printing a lot.

      That’s as much as I ever paid for a printer. I have two currently, a BW laser and a color. Paid $50 for the color used…its 2 years old.

      Just can’t see wasting money on inkjets with their issues, and I’ve had many. First was a 1992 HP Bubble jet, which worked great for the time, but died before it ran out of ink.
