  • I choose to use Instant Ink because I don’t print a lot and it still beats buying the carts. HP ships them to me for free and automatically before I run out and gives me return postage for the empties to be recycled.

    They also don’t have different rates for B/W and Color so I just print everything in color.

    I dont stress over $1/mo (or $1.50/mo if this increase hits me). I’ve had this printer for 2yrs on the cheapest plan and I’ve still not paid the full price of a set of cartridges.

    I’m sure I’ll be down votes for saying anything positive about the program but whatever. It works fine for me.





  • I also don’t understand the whole “it depreciates in value” angle. Yes, everything I buy new depreciates in value once it is no longer new. I’m not buying a car to immediately sell it. So who cares?

    Are there people out there flipping cars like they do with houses? Maybe tell those people.

    I bought my car new and people told me the same thing. I’m still driving it 13yrs later and have had no major maintenance issues; only regular maintenance like oil, tire rotation, lube etc. The most expensive thing I’ve put into it are new tires.

    I’ll buy my next car new again and do the same thing.


  • Lots of entitlement here…

    Saying someone makes enough in their day job so all their other contributions should be free is…wow.

    I guess I’m one of the few that thinks all work should be compensated. Especially work I can’t do myself or that I prefer over others.

    And really, it’s not up to me to say what that compensation should be. It’s only my job to decide if the offer is acceptable to me for what I perceive is the benefit over other options.

    Because there are other options. But I’m here because I don’t want the other options. I would guess many others are, too.
