    I mean I’m pretty sure if you cancel your Netflix subscription it still finishes the current billing period and just doesn’t renew so you can finish watching that show.

      Right which is what’s going on here. HP instant ink will let you cancel at any point and then it’s good through the end of the billing period. I hate the waste that’s being generated here and HP is anti consumer as hell.

      I’d be a lot less salty about it if the original cartridge could revert back. On the other hand I understand the bricking of the cartridge If you’ve used enough ink that you’re into your second cartridge.

      I think a lot of this could have been avoided if the business decisions behind how instant ink is marketed were less consumer hostile. I’m still baffled that they don’t give you the option to buy out the remaining prints in your cartridge when you terminate instant ink. Seems like easy money that would help this feel less anti consumer.
