The Instant Ink programme has been available in other countries for some time now but with its Australian launch, HP is offering ink and toner packages.
The Instant Ink plans are available from AU$1.99 ($1.54/ €1.28) a month for 15 printed pages for ink and the toner plans start at AU$3.99 ($3.09/ €2.58) for 50 pages a month. HP offers customers in Australia a two-month free trial period and unused pages rollover.
Instant Ink requires consumers to have a compatible printer and the cost of the ink and postage is included in the monthly price plan and HP also send postage free envelopes for the return of used cartridges that will be recycled as part of the HP Planet Partners Programme.
