Are you tired of the hassle that comes with printer ownership? HP has just announced a potential solution for you. For as low as US$7 per month, you can access a printer without worrying about ink, maintenance, or technical issues. The HP All-In Plan is designed for those who need occasional printing but find the cost and responsibilities of owning a printer burdensome.
The convenience of HP's All-In Plan
Owning a printer can be demanding. Besides the initial purchase cost, printers often encounter problems, which can be a headache. The costs of ink cartridges can escalate quickly, turning a seemingly economical purchase into an expensive endeavour. This is where HP's All-In Plan comes as a boon. It offers a choice of printer, automatic ink replenishment, round-the-clock live support, and a next-day exchange service if your printer fails.
The plan currently offers three printer models: the Envy 6020e, Envy Inspire 7258e, and OfficeJet Pro 9010e. These all-in-one colour inkjet printers support printing, scanning, and copying. The Envy 6020e also boasts fax capability, while the OfficeJet Pro 9010e is more suited for home office use with its automatic document feeder and fax.
At the modest price of US$7 per month, you get a year of hassle-free printing, equating to US$84 annually. The subscription fee varies based on the printer model and your estimated monthly page printout.
Subscription details and cancellation fees
The plan comes with a 30-day risk-free period, after which you commit to a 24-month subscription. Cancelling early means returning the printer and paying a cancellation fee. The starting price of US$6.99 is for the Envy 6020e, with ink plans suitable for printing an average of 20 pages per month. The cost scales up depending on your usage, reaching as high as US$60.99 for the OfficeJet Pro 9010e plan.
If you're a heavy printer user, this plan may not be the most cost-effective. After 24 months, you can continue, choose another printer, or cancel without penalty. Cancellation fees vary by printer model, with penalties highest in the first 12 months and halving if cancelled before 24 months.
Is the HP All-In Plan right for you?
This plan isn't a one-size-fits-all solution. If your printing needs are specific – like high-volume printing, exceptional photo quality, or monochrome documents – the printers offered might not suffice. It's essential to weigh your printing needs against what the HP All-In Plan provides.

In summary, HP's new subscription plan offers a convenient and potentially cost-effective way to access printing facilities without the usual ownership hassles. However, it's crucial to consider your specific printing needs and usage patterns before opting in.
