HP launched a subscription service today that rents people a printer, allots them a specific amount of printed pages, and sends them ink for a monthly fee. HP is framing its service as a way to simplify printing for families and small businesses, but the deal also comes with monitoring and a years-long commitment.

      The printer is sold at a loss so that they can gouge you on ink, so you would need to factor that into the equation.

      …however $400 seems like a lot of ink.

        The $400 doesn’t include the ink subscription. That’s actually extra according to hp
