Long story shortened. Copy requirement reduced and ready to cancel HP Instant Ink but find out that all delivered cartridges will be disabled upon quit date.

Just wondering if others have encountered this situation?
That business model of cheap printers / expensive ink is dead. Buy regular HP ink until the printer fails. Then toss it out and get an Epson EcoTank (I have the ET-4800) printer. Fantastic product. The Epson EcoTank ET-4800 can print up to 4,500 pages in black and 7,500 pages in color with a single set of ink bottles. This is equivalent to about 80 individual ink cartridges, according to Epson. And a complete set of bottles (two black and three color) can be purchased for under $30 on Amazon.

Kick HP to the curb.
