Does anyone use this? Do you find it worthwhile?



I was thinking of getting the lowest tier bundle (50 pages month for 1.99) Does an App tell you how many pages you have left to print before your allowance runs out?


Thanks

    best printing decision i ever made. i do the 1.99 option. you can monitor the pages you print via you account and have a rollover allowance (50 pages for 1.99) if you go over you monthly allowance

    We use it. It works (pukka ink delivered to your door). Using compatible inks will always be cheaper though. Don't know about apps, but web interface shows accurate page usage.
    EDIT: but web page not working with Chrome this morning?

    there are a few introductory offers around either via a new eligible printer or an existing user

    I use it and generally the system works well.

    I use it and like the fact I can change the page amount monthly - my OH has an occasional print job that uses more than 50 pages, then I just change it back to 50 pages the month after

    Has always worked fine for me. They also do a free 15 page monthly subscription if you only very occasionally print.

    I've kept the setup cartridges pretty much untouched and use the instant ink cartridges for regular printing. If I need to print out any more than 15 pages in then I'll swap the non-instant cartridges back in. Best of both worlds!

    does it worth like that, that is a great suggestion.


    I thought it would just count the pages regardless of what cartridge is installed.


    I will try this as sometimes we will go over the 50 pages but not enough to justify paying the 100 page per month price.


    If it was just me I could easily restrict myself to 15 pages but I have a child at secondary school and the homework exceeds that :(

    I use the 50 pages per month at £1.99 and never use more than a dozen per month. Can I lower my plan to 15 per month
