HOW TO PRINT FREE FOR LIFE!

Want to know how I print free?

Are you spending too much money on ink like I was? Are you sick of buying ink and limiting the amount you print because you’re afraid to run out?

How to Print Free For Life

Or maybe you don’t print that often and you don’t want to spend money on ink that you will only need once in a while.

Whichever applies to you, I found the perfect solution.

I’m going to share with you how I get FREE printer ink shipped to my home for free! Yes, seriously it’s free. FREE INK!

No more shaking those ink cartridges or forgetting to buy ink. So what’s this solution?

The HP Instant Ink Program!

HP Instant Ink is a program developed by HP that takes care of all of your printer needs on a budget.

With the Instant Ink Program, your HP qualified printer will automatically send a signal to HP to tell them you need ink, and it will be delivered to your home for free before you run out. How cool is that?

Plus they will provide postage-paid shipping materials to return used cartridges; I love that since it was a pain to recycle my old ones.

Ok so this may sound too good to be true and you may be thinking is there a catch? Well, you do need to have an eligible HP printer (more on this later) and have it hooked up to your wifi network but that’s it.

If you don’t currently have an HP Eligible printer then you will see why it may be worth it to run out and buy one (I got mine for under $60).

Depending on how much you print there are plans that can fit your needs starting for FREE. I am going to show you how you can easily get a bunch of free months on ANY plan so that you can possibly print free for life!

I’ve been with the HP Instant Ink Program for a couple years and have not had to pay a monthly fee yet so keep reading.

Getting Free Ink With The HP Instant Ink Program

SOME MORE GREAT MONEY SAVING TIPS TO READ NEXT:

Most HP Printers are now Hp Instant Ink Eligible and that means you can get ink delivered free to your home before you run out and on autopilot!

As I mentioned above, the HP Instant Ink Program offers a FREE Ink Plan that allows you to print 15 pages a month at no cost to you.

UPDATE 2021: HP has started charging a small fee of .99 cents for the 15-page plan but keep on reading and I’ll show you how you can still print for free!

I love that they offer this for those of us who hardly print and may just need to print a few things a month. With the free plan, if you print less than 15 pages a month you now already have free ink for life! Simple right?

Ok so what if you print more than 15 pages per month?

Don’t worry I will show you how I was able to get free ink for years and I can print up to 300 pages per month. Plus I get rollover pages so I never go over my page limit.

Once you see how easy it is to get free ink then you’re going to want to run out and buy an HP printer asap and they are very inexpensive. I probably bought the cheapest one they had that worked for this purpose (I’ll share with you how to buy the right one and which one I have).

If you already have an HP Eligible printer then you just need to sign up!

Ok so here it is….

Steps on How to Print for Free

1. Have or Get an HP Instant Ink Eligible Printer

First, you have to have an HP Instant Ink Eligible Printer. Amazon has a great selection you can check here. You can easily tell in the product description of a printer whether it’s eligible. You can also find a list of eligible printers on the signup page. I have the HP ENVY 4500 Series All in One Printer.  As you can see by the screenshot Amazon clearly displays in the titles that the printers are Instant Ink Eligible. 

Hp Instant Ink eligible printers

Please note: When purchasing your printer in-store or online do not purchase the HP Instant Ink subscription with it (unless they have a 3 free months promotion going on). You will subscribe after you get home with these instructions.

2. Pick a Plan.

Pick the best plan for your needs! Remember you are not going to be charged until free months run out. Plans start as low as $0.99/month depending on how much you print. I recommend choosing one of the higher plans since you’re getting free months, you can always lower it later. You can also cancel the service at any time if you don’t like it.

3. Enter HP Instant Ink Promo Codes. MOST IMPORTANT STEP!

This is the step that will allow you to be able to print for free for months no matter which plan you choose so read thoroughly. To start, you’ll want to use a referral code or link to sign up which will give you 1 FREE Month of Hp Instant Ink. Use code hFJGV or just click this referral link here and it will add the first free month.

THEN you will enter HP Instant Ink promo codes to get additional free months during registration. This is where you want to get as many free months now as possible.

If you just bought your printer it should have come with a promotion code in the box to use to get 3 months free when you first sign up. Make sure you go through a referral link or code FIRST to get the 1 free month I mentioned above and then use the promo code you were given to get the additional 3 months for a total of 4 months! Plus try and add the additional codes mentioned next and you can get even more free months!

If you don’t have a promo code with your printer because it’s one you had already then you can try to stack some of the following HP Instant Ink promotion codes (codes may expire at any time so try them all).

HP INSTANT INK PROMO CODES TO TRY:

EASYWAYTOPRINT

HPFOREVER

HP4FREE

FREEINK (Seems to work for most people)

INSINK2

LOVEINK4U

2HP4U

INSTANT2

HPINSTAINK4U

3FREEINK

SAVE50NO

SAVE50PERCENT

SCHOOL2

Some of the codes will combine so just make sure they are in ALL CAPS and enter one after the other.  Codes change often so I will try and keep this post updated.

IMPORTANT! Before you checkout, make sure you see the one month free from refer-a-friend and other months free from the promo codes you entered and that your total is $0 before submitting the order. Usually, with the combination of promo codes, you can start off with between 4 and 6 months of free ink.

Leave me a comment on this article if the codes are not working for you so I can try and get a new one or if you need help.

This will be what gets you the most free months! You have 4 to 6 months to refer a few friends to keep your free plan going. This should be easy considering the HP Instant Ink program is super affordable and very convenient even after the free plan ends.

To help you I am allowing you to post your referral code in the comments of this post!!

So post your codes and let’s help each other save money! Send your friend your code and send them this article so that they can get the most free months as well!

    Where do you type in the promo codes? I already have HP instant ink, and there’s nowhere to type in a promo code on the website?

    • Kari @Esavingsblog says

      Hi Olivia, you have to do it upon signup. I am not sure you can add them once you are a customer since the codes are for new customers. BUT if you are already an HP instant ink customer go ahead and leave your referral link in the comments and when other readers use it you will get a free month. I will also share your referral link as well, hope this helps!

    Something to mention, when you google instant ink coupon codes you will come up with multiple “referally codes” and you can only use one. I made the mistake of putting in a code I found on retailmenot and I couldn’t get it back off. So…I wish I would have found your site before reail my not because I just earned some stranger a free month! LOL The FREEINK code did work ask well. Just putting that out there incase someone goes code happy like it did!

    When I was chatting with HP customer service today they said the only promotion they have right now is the $5 ecode you can use on any plan. So pretty much only 1 month free. Has anyone had any luck this month with getting any more months free? She also said they no longer have the refer a friend promotion. Is that true or can we still get that promotion just fine but they just aren’t advertising it?Thanks!

    • Kari @Esavingsblog says

      Hi Jessica! As far as I know, it is still going! I get referrals all the time and I just logged into my account and see that it still shows a referral link. Was it the HP instant ink customer service? The last working code was “FREEINK” according to previous commenters but codes do expire all the time, unfortunately. You should still get the 1 month free from the referral link (you will see that before you checkout)and you can try codes or if you bought a new printer those usually come with 3 months free as well (in the past). You can try it using the exact instructions I leave here, you will see the free months before you check out so that you will know before proceeding. If you do sign up please leave your referral link here for others to use :). Hope this helps!

    I just ordered the Officejet 3830 on hp.com
    You get a $5 gift card for instant ink, then I could use the FREEINK, referral code (which i have no clue where you put that but I had a rep put it on for me), and got 3 months free when i set up my eprint on my printer (you set it up on your printer touch screen for mine. then it prints out a paper with the code). So I got like 5 1/2 months free basically with what i did. You can only enter 1 of each kind of code I guess. If you cant put them in you will have to talk to a rep. Here is my referral link. Thanks!

    REMEMBER TO PUT WHAT YOU CAN IN BEFORE SUBMITTING WHEN YOU REGISTER. Otherwise it is a big pain.

    I would try one of the other codes before the FREEINK one because that is only 1 month and yo u can only put 1 of each type on there.

    Hi, thanks so much for this! I was really tempted to just not bother with Instant Ink but after seeing your blog post, I decided I can at least take advantage of the free ink for now! I’ve followed the instructions and have managed to get 5 free months! It’s also very nice of you to be sharing others’ referral codes! 🙂

    Thank you for this post!! When I did the installation of my printer it wouldn’t let me put any codes in, so afterwards I did a click to chat and they put in the codes and the referral code. Thank you so much! I ended up with 5 months free! I would love it if someone used my code to sign up. Free ink helps this homeschool mama out a lot!

    http://try.hpinstantink.com/rswGW

    Also the click to chat rep told me that if you forget to put in a referral code you can chat with them and They can add one within 30 days of you signing up!

    Wow I have gotten a few emails that said my friend has signed up for instant ink, I totally thought that we would get one or two but never did I expect 5 people to do it! My son and I are so grateful for this blog, we are starting a new business (he polishes Petoskey stones and sells them on Etsy) he is saving up for a new bike. So printing is essential. I just wanted to say thank you to everyone for the help and my son Jason says to everyone he is very thankful!!! Our referral code is mztGm if anyone wants to use it they will get a free month as well!

      Thank you, Kiki! I signed up so long ago I wish I had done screenshots of the process to make it a little easier. I will share your code as well and hopefully, you will get a few more referrals!

      Reply

  31. Jessica Moore says

    Kiki, you can only apply one of each type of code. The referral code (whichever you choose), internet codes like the ones above, whatever comes with your printer (mine came with 3 months free if you signed up within 7 days), and a promotional code (like mine came with $5 credit if I signed up for inkstant ink within 7 days of registering my printer/turning it on). Sometimes you can get other codea to work as well like a percentage off and such. Then if anyone uses your referral code you will get an additional 1 month free for each person who uses your referral code. I was able to get 8 months free between the codes I put in when I registered my printer (there is a spot to put in codes. Make sure you dont miss it or you will have to contact customer service to get them added.), the credit, referral months,etc. And the more people use my code the more additional month I can get. Someone told me they could only get it to let them put in up to 3 codes when they registered so start with the most free first then go from there. May be different for you. Hope that helps 🙂

    Thank you for the information I just received 4 free months! I took the highest plan since I am getting free and will go down when I have to pay, if I am not using 700 pages a month. I am a teacher so I use lots of ink. Please use my referral code for new users to get an additional free month v7TmR
    try.hpinstantink.com/v7TmR
    The other working code for free months people need to enter first is freeink all lower case. I think that got me 3 free months and down the form put in v7TmR for enroller. Thank you for keeping up this blog and helping so many others!

    Thanks guys and Kari, this blog has been really helpful. Being a student, I am happy to get 5 months free on by HP Officejet 3830.

    Here are the steps I followed:
    1. Registered using the referral link: Click here – http://try.hpinstantink.com/vL7FP
    2. Sign-up for 700 / month page plan
    3. Before you submit the “Register” button, make sure you are getting 1-month free due to referral (if it does not show-up, enter the code shown above vL7FP).
    4. On top of it, you’ll also get free months based on the type of printer. Officejet 3830 is currently providing 3 month trial.
    5. Once done, add the code FREEINK. In all, you should get 5 months of free printing with 700 pages / month.
    6. Unfortunately, other codes are not working at the moment.

    Register and enjoy the free months!

    None of the codes worked for me… I am in nursing school right now and need the ink constantly. I have the 1 month free trial right now, and signed up for the 100 pages a month for $4.99. When I tried adding peoples referral codes, it said “Cannot be added with promotion”. So I guess I am only getting one month for free, but better than nothing! And thank you for making this blog post! PLEASE use my new code! http://try.hpinstantink.com/vM9PG

    I used your code (one month), also FREEINK (two month free trial, and I received a free $5.00 pin code card when purchasing my printer at Best Buy…4 months free and $5.00 in promo credits. Awesome.

    I was able to enter the FREEINK code and your referral code in the promo code box during the final set up page. It states that if multiple codes are enter that the highest value code will apply.

    If anyone would like to use it my code that you can use for one free month is wsgdn

    How many friend’s referral code can be used when signing up? If I have 6 friend’s referral codes do I get 6 free months? Or can I only use one friend code?

    Reply

    • Kari @Esavingsblog says

      Hi Jenni, You use one referral code to get you one free month and then a coupon code (codes vary and some have expired so try them all). If you get a new printer they usually also come with a three-month free ink code so that will give you four months but that also varies. You can then come back here and leave your referral link in hopes others will use it. I will also share it with my readers. Read through the comments and you should see the most recent codes that are working for others. Thank you!

    Hi Kari –

    Thanks for the great reap and for this forum for sharing the free ink wealth! While the codes didn’t seem to work, I was able to call them and get a free month just by asking – as well as using a referral code from your post here. Also, HP told me that if I sign up for a paid program, I can still switch back to the Free (15 prints a month) program if I want to down the road. It cannot be done online, but can be done by calling them.

    Here is my referral code in case anyone would like to send some free printing joy my way!

    I have an HP printer that is enrolled in instant ink, but due to all the printng I have done as a teacher, the blue print head is busted.I have only been using it for black copies. I purchased a new printer, but I have not enrolled it in the Instant Ink program yet. Will I be able to get free months with it too? It came with a card for two months, but ideally I would like to get more than that. I plan on un-enrolling the other computer before my next payment is due.

    FWIW, all above codes, including FREEINK, either no longer work, have already been claimed, or have expired as of September 19, 2019. However, thank y’all for helping us all save our precious resources (money & goods)!

      Hi Katie! Thank you for letting me know, I am always looking for new codes so I’ll post any I find. If you have a new printer you will also usually get free 2 or three months combined with my referral link for another free month. If you do end up signing up let me know and I will share your code a couple times and hopefully, you can get some extra months!

    Thanks for your article & great advice, which worked again tonight (Sunday 22nd September 2019)!

    Other users are welcome to benefit & save money too, by using both these LIVE & ACTIVE referral codes:

    ‘BD8wT’
    &
    ‘FREEINK’

    Both above codes work (though none others listed in the main article did – having double-checked everyone again) – so here’s wishing more success doing so to many other users too!

    HP has changed the trial program on newHP printers. No longer offering trial period with the printer, but giving you an instant ink credit like $10 to apply to your nonthly charge. You can still get a referal free month and a FREEINK promo code free month.

    Hi there –
    Please use the referral link to get a month free, in addition to the free months that you would get with your printer. Also, try using FREEINK to get an additional month free.
    Note: Do register for the 700 pages a month… it’s a $20 / month plan, but it’s free during the “free months” period.

    I saw your page as I was registering. Before I found your site the program already gave me a 1 month free promo, a $20 prepaid credit code, and a 3 month free trial. I tried to use all of the referral codes and the other codes but they were already expired or I couldn’t combine them with what I already had. So, after the 4 free months how do I continue to get free printing for life?

    Well, dang it! I must have tried 30 codes and none of them worked for any longer than 1-month of free printing. Since I print 300-400 pages per month, it sure would have been a huge money-saver to have a 3, 4, 5, or 6-months free code!

    At any rate, here is the link with my referral code. I hope someone finds it helpful! Thank you for this blog. <3

    Hi, thanks so much for your help. I used your referral code along with FREEINK and a free trial to get 3 months free on the 300 page plan.

    My referral code is: try.hpinstantink.com/NfHP7

    When is the latest date I can downgrade to the free plan to ensure I don’t pay anything.

    Also with the 300 page plan, I understand that any unused pages will rollover up to a maximum of 600 pages. But, if I downgrade to a free plan, will I still have these rolled over pages or not?

    Many thanks 🙂

    My husband signed us up on the HP instant ink website. He submitted the order just as I was walking in. We did get one free month, but sure would like more. Anyway to do that or are we too late?

    • Kari @Esavingsblog says

      You can try chatting them and telling them you forgot to use the code “FREEINK” when you signed up for extra free months. I don’t know if they will let you but its worth a try. I think that’s the most recent code that worked. If your printer is new it usually comes with a free trial as well so check the box. Leave your Referral link here and I will share it in the blog post for others to use so you can get free months.

    Hi Kari and other free print seekers,

    Thank you for the opportunity to try the various free codes for extra months. Unfortunately, as of 3/13/2020 none of the listed ones worked; however, I was able to get a month free using a refer a friend code and free is very helpful for a creative budget.

    I do have a tip for newbies that could be worth trying and add greater value – When using the free month code (hope you use mine), consider selecting the higher $19.99 700 page option, which is advertised as including two spare cartridges, Payment and month does not start until your receive and start using your free ink cartridges so if you do not want to stay with the 700-page $9.99-month program, mark your calendar then and be sure to come back to your HP account and modify your monthly program to your desired pages/cost before the new billing period.

    Disclaimer: I have not tried this yet but it seems like it could work. Going to give it a try and hoping for the best-case scenario but even if it doesn’t work as I am aiming for, a page 700month free + the spare ink cartridges advertised with the 700-page $19.99 program is still a happy thing.

    If I am fortunate enough to have a reader use my personal code for their free first month, know I am grateful and you are appreciated!

    My personal code is Nw7qp and can be entered as you are checking out on the HP sign up page on their website or you can use this direct link: http://try.hpinstantink.com/Nw7qp Happy printing everyone – Enjoy the sweetness of free!

    P.S. Kari, my daughter shares your name and lol, I love how you spell it correctly 😉

    Kari, the code that worked for me was EASYWAYTOPRINT, your referral code, and by defaut I had 1 month so total of 4 months! (I’m Canadian, don’t know if that makes a difference, and this is March 2020).

    So it says 1 month is up to 300 pages and 3 months are up to 50, does that mean I can print 450 pages over the next 4 months for free and they’ll send me ink??

    Reply

    • Kari @Esavingsblog says

      Hi Alexis,

      You should get a set amount of pages per month depending on your plan. Go into your account and see what plan you have, you can choose the highest plan and always lower it after your free months. I do the $9.99 plan. I believe unused pages also roll now. Leave your referral link here so I can share it and others can use it!

    Hello. Thank you so much for all this good advice. I just wanted to let you know that HP have stopped allowing people to bundle up on their promo codes. You can still use a referral code OR a promo code, but not both.

    Also, I found it hard to figure out where to input the referral code. It is right at the very end after the billing info page. You enter the code in the “Special Codes” box.

    If anyone would like to use my referral code, they will get one month free… SBDfb

    Thanks again. Take care everyone.

      Hi Joanne! You actually do not need to put in the referral code if you just use the referral link to go to the HP site, then you can use one of the promo codes. So feel free to leave the entire referral link so someone can copy and paste it in their browser which should give them one free month already and then that leaves room for a promo code (at least that’s how it was working in the past).
