#1 Does this come with ink?
The cartridges that come with the printer are standard, full size, cartridges. You can purchase XL cartridges as replacements which will save you about 20 percent per page. There is also the option to subscribe to an Automatic Ink program called instant ink. You pay $3.00 a month and print up to 50 pages. If you print more, HP will charge you an additional $1 for each eset of 15 pages or more that you print. Most importantly, when you run low on ink, HP sends you more ink long before you run out. Best of all, you get fresh ink while only paying your $3 a month. At ~$0.06 a page, it's the lowest cost way to print, as long as you print every month. And, if you print photos, Instant Ink subscription is an absolute bargain saving you 85% on ink.
