They still try to make your life miserable if you don't: Ink: Unfortunately, this printer like most HP printers has a lot of limitations on the type of ink that is allowed to be used. You can only use HP branded cartridges that contain a chip in it or subscribe to Instant Ink (HP’s cartridge subscription service). The printer comes with 3 months free of Instant Ink but the cartridge will no longer function once you stop paying the monthly fee and you are limited on how many pages you can print each month. You pay monthly depending on the tier you choose. Furthermore, the printer only comes with starter ink cartridges that are only a small portion of a full cartridge, which means relatively immediately, you have to subscribe to a monthly ink service or buy a full set of ink cartridges. The starter cartridges are barely enough to print a few lengthy documents and are an environmental waste of the cartridge. I don’t like feeling so limited in what type of ink or how much I can print each month and having another recurring monthly bill, especially when my printing needs change every month. [1] I wouldn't buy that. This is the "inkjet gouging model", heavily enhanced (chip-on-cartridge plus app plus printer phoning home). That said, most inkjets have mutated into that.
