Making our home smarter has been a huge goal of ours this year. We need everything in our home to be working for us. This means using technology to make our life easier and better. This is a sponsored post discussion with HP about the awesome new HP Instant Ink Service.
We have been traveling a lot this year and that means a lot of picture printing.
The girls have all been hanging their favorite memories on their photo boards in their rooms and we have been printing those picture memories like crazy. We even invested in another color printer for all this picture printing. We chose an HP Envy 4500 because you can print directly from your smartphone or tablet and it also comes with the HP Instant service. I also chose this printer because it looks good. We are in the middle of an update to our home and I’m being very selective about what I want on my counters, including our command center.
I am pretty excited about HP Instant Ink.
Since we switched our focus when buying products to make sure they are “smart” and make life easier I knew that a printer that could order it’s own ink was exactly what we needed. Sounds revolutionary right? I thought so, but it’s actually here and available now!
Here is how it works.
First thing you need to do is purchase an HP Printer that is compatible with this new service. They have a lot of options and some pretty fancy, awesome printers or some more basic models at multiple price points to fit your needs. After you get the printer home and set up you sign up for the service and then once your ink gets low your printer automatically {via an internet connection} orders more for you and has it delivered straight to you.
I have an older HP printer and I love it. I might ask Santa for this one.
I have a brand new HP printer, and i noticed that it gave me this option.. very cool feature.
I have an HP, but it might be time to upgrade! Auto-ordering ink is an amazing idea!
I have this program. It is fantastic. I love never running out of ink.
This is an amazing idea! I always run out of ink.
This is awesome! Usually by the time my computer tells me I need ink, I order it, and I wait for it to arrive, I’m out. Argh!
My son wants to do a picture wall as well. We rarely print photos, but we do have an HP printer that does. I just need to buy more ink for it.
Oh, how neat! I’m in the market for a new printer, so I will definitely be keeping this in mind!
If you could see my face as I read this…LOL. I’m still like, huh? Orders its own ink? What?? I LOVE it!! What’s next? Flying cars? 🙂
I’m amazed, but I guess my only problem is I wouldn’t get the best price
I love my HP printer but this one sounds amazing. I always forget to order ink!
I don’t think this is a feature that would work for my family. We would be having ink delivered all the time! We just have to be selective on what we print here and limit printing that is not required. Very nice feature for those that need it!
As long as I can remember I have had an HP printer. They last really long and are affordable .
That is so awesome. I am always running out of ink because of all the schoolwork I do with my daughter.
Such an amazing printer, the images come out so beautifully!
If only you knew how many times I’ve ran out of ink. I love that HP keeps up with my ink levels.
Our printer died years ago and we still haven’t replaced it. Drives me crazy!
I definitely need a new printer for home and this one seems great!
Great post about HP printer. I wanted to buy one as gift to myself this coming Christmas. Thanks.
Great post!! Will consider this for my next printer.
I have three printers in my office and I’m still running out of ink all the time. I print something multiple times a day!
That is really neat. I’d love to save more time and never run out of ink. That is always SOOO frustrating when I run out of ink!
This is absolutely AMAZING! Can I just tell you I have been out of ink in my printer for months, yes months, and I just can’t seem to make picking up ink a priority! This is literally exactly what I need! And the price for the printers and the service isn’t too bad either! Definitely putting this on my wish list!
We do a lot of printables around here! This would make life easier!
Oh wow this is awesome! I only use HP and I will talk to my husband about this when he gets home. We just went and got refills at best buy for our HP printer and when we got home it said that they were not genuine and we had to return them. After doing a lot of trouble shooting we had to return and exchange them. I would just worry this would happen in the mail and would take a long time to fix other than that it is a cool service.
A printer that orders it’s own ink!? What a fantastic idea, I always find out I need some when it’s too late lol!
I like the sound of this printer. We print a lot of things at our house and tend to run out of ink!
I absolutely love HP products, and the majority of my tech has been from this company. I love the savings that come with this ink program.
Thanks for the great review! I’m in the market for a new printer!
Oh man, ink delivery?! That’s a great idea for those that work from home and have to try and work in errands when they can. This would be a time saver!
I absolutely LOVE the Instant Ink program! I don’t know what I would do without it – well, I’d be spending a heck of a lot more money on ink, that’s for sure!
This was totally made for me. I’m ALWAYS
This was totally made for me. I’m ALWAYS running out of ink.
This is a brilliant idea! I hate it when I run out of ink and then I have to search for it at the office supply store.
This is a great idea. I get so busy, I never remember to order ink. It’s prefect for me.
I love HP. We own 2 printers and it’s amazing! One of my favorite brands.
Holy Cow!! A printer that can order its own ink is genius!! I’m always out unexpedtly
That is so super-cool. I never remember to place the order, then end up waiting way too long, ha!
Instand ink is an incredibly smart idea! I need to sign up for this badly.
I have a few HP printers, I think not worrying about ink again has got be sold.
OMG I NEED this program. I am always running out then get to the store and forget what type I need so end up being out forever.
I actually bought an HP lap top today! It’s the Beat by Dre lap top..excited to get it in!
I need a new printer, and was planning on HP – I’ll have to make sure I get this option cause that sure could come in handy!
Maybe I should put this on top of my Christmas priority list! The grandparents always get on me because I don’t take the time to print out all the photos I share of my kids on Facebook. This looks like it would be great for that!
Oh how cool. We could definitely benefit from this program since we go through so much ink. I hate having to go out and buy it.
That would be sooo nice to get! We homeschool so we use our printer all the time, everyday to print out worksheets, research, essays, etc. and we always run out of ink. We have an HP too so that is actually perfect! Ging to check it out!
This is pretty smart, thank you so much for the share. I have a HP and it runs out of ink quite quick.
So I love that it orders the ink for you! And cost comparison, it was actually saving me money! I had to pause my account when we moved and then we couldn’t find the power cord after the move for our printer…so I haven’t restarted it yet. But I just got a new cord so I’m excited to get back on track with this!
This is such a great idea. There is nothing worst than needing to print something and running out of ink!
This sounds so awesome, to never run out of ink sounds like a blessing!
