Put the serial number of your printer, you don't want to see HP+ near SERVICE type - picture below to show this
When you purchase a printer if you see HP+ on the box, make sure you don’t activate this when installing software.
Once you do you will have to purchase the OEM ink/toner cartridges only! UNTILL THE WARRANTY EXPIRES.
HP+ is an optional FREE service for select printers, that offers a host of features to those that choose to enable it when setting up their printer. These features are offered free of charge and include:
• Extra security updates and monitoring.
• Printing from even more devices.
• 6-Months of Instant Ink.
• Access to HP Advanced Features (for 2-years).
• 2-Year Extended Warranty.
• HP investing in the planting of trees, via ‘Forest First’.
On paper, all these advantages sound great, and we have spoken to a few customers who have enabled HP+ for the complimentary ‘Instant Ink’ subscription alone and were unaware of this.
However, HP+ severely limits your options when it comes to buying consumables in the future.
When you choose to activate HP plus you disable your printer’s ability to use anything but brand new Hewlett Packard consumables, even if you disable your ‘Instant Ink’ subscription.
This means using compatible cartridges or even refilled Hewlett Packard originals (like our remanufactured alternatives) is not an option for you.
If you have any questions, then please contact us and we will be more than happy to help.
