HP+ benefits

HP+ Benefits
HP+ is an industry-disrupting innovation that removes common frustrations to make printing effortless, low-cost, and sustainable. Let’s dig into the benefits, with details on all the deep printing savings and solutions.

1. Never run out of ink or toner

If you’re an HP Instant Ink user, you already know the convenience of automatic ink replenishment. Your printer senses when it’s running low, and new ink ships automatically at a low cost to you. You then swap out the spent cartridge and pop it into the prepaid mailer for recycling. No more worrying about running out or excessive costs, because you always pay the lowest per-page rate available.
HP+ works in the same way, but for both ink and toner. Want to know more about why HP Instant Ink is such a fan-favorite among businesses and home office warriors? Take a look at the HP Instant Ink program.

2. High-yield ink and toner cartridges mean big savings

The biggest difference you’ll notice when you start using HP+ is the cost savings. You’ll pay by the page for prints, and prices are rock-bottom compared to buying your own cartridges. One reason for the lower cost is that HP+ uses high-yield cartridges. High-capacity ink and toner cartridges cost less to build, use less packaging, ship for lower costs, have a smaller environmental footprint, and ultimately result in a lower price point for you.

3. Not a subscription, cancel any time

If you’re worried about the cost of signing up for add-on plans, worry no more. There’s no added cost to sign up for HP+. You just need to own a supported HP printer and use genuine HP ink or toner.

Sustainability is increasingly important to all of us, and it’s been a cornerstone of how HP produces our tech for years. HP+ makes it easy to reduce your environmental impact with our prepaid recycling service.
Just drop your old cartridges in the mail and HP will do the rest. This service is also part of the HP Planet Partners return and recycling program. Through the program, HP delivers more environmentally responsible recycling solutions around the world than any other IT company.

5. HP Smart app adds convenience

Take advantage of premium HP+ solutions with the HP Smart app. The app taps your printer into a connected cloud that automatically detects and fixes connectivity issues. This helps ensure that you can print whenever and wherever you need to, from desktops, laptops, tablets, and phones.
The HP Smart app also unlocks these additional features:
  • A new Smart Security settings monitoring system: It detects and heads off malware, so hackers can’t use your printer as a backdoor to your network.
  • All-new native in-OS printing: This lets you print from virtually anywhere, and on any device.
  • HP’s new Private Pickup: This feature releases documents to you only when you’re physically near the printer.
  • Faster scanning: The Smart App’s scanning features speed up your scanning workflows, with a streamlined scan and email process.

6. Increased sustainability

Increased Sustainability
Take advantage of the new HP Forest First feature, where every page printed is offset by investments that help protect and restore forests. Thanks to HP’s green initiatives, users reported a 33% drop in annual print-related carbon emissions.
