How are pages counted for Instant Ink?

Photo and text prints are counted the same. Your plan is based on the page count, not the amount of ink or toner used.

For your ink or toner plan, a double-sided print counts as two pages.

For Instant Ink, only pages printed using Instant Ink ink or toner cartridges are recorded.

For the HP All-In Plan for Print, pages are counted the same for Instant Ink and regular cartridges.

If you do not print all your plan pages in a month, the unused pages are rolled over, and can be used in later months.

The maximum rollover balance depends on your plan pages.

If you downgrade your plan, you get a new rollover maximum. You lose any rollover pages over what your new plan allows.

If you print more than your monthly plan pages and rollover pages, you are charged for additional pages. For example, if you are on the 50-page plan, have 10 rollover pages, and then print between 61 and 70 pages, you are billed for one additional page block.

Additional pages are billed in a block, not one by one. The size of the block depends on your plan.

Unused pages from additional page blocks roll over so you can use them whenever you need to.

If you are consistently paying for additional pages, consider upgrading your plan.

Page counts are updated about once a day, not immediately.

If you enrolled with Instant Ink cartridges that came with your printer, the page count start immediately.

Sheets are tracked separately and may be different from the page counts for your ink or toner plan.

Rollover sheets are tracked separately and may be different from the page counts for your ink or toner plan.

If you print more than your monthly plan page level and rollover sheets, you are charged for additional sheets. For example, if you are on the 50-page plan, have 10 rollover sheets, and then print between 61 and 70 sheets, you are billed for one additional sheet block.

Unused sheets from additional blocks roll over so you can use them whenever you need to.

Sheets used outside of the enrolled printer are not counted. Replenishment shipments may be late when this occurs.

Double-sided prints count as one sheet. If you print on only one side of a sheet in duplex mode, it also counts as one sheet.

If you print on specialty paper not provided by the service, such as photo paper, those sheets are not counted. Printing on standard paper not provided by the service is counted, and is replaced with replenishment sheets.

Sheet count does not start until your Paper Add-on service Welcome Kit arrives and you are fully subscribed to Instant Ink.
