After 8 months the printer is still functioning perfectly. I subscribed to the lowest level of "Instant Ink" and am still using the first set of replacement cartridges (the cartridges that come with the machine contain only a minimal amount of ink). I see many reviewers complaining about how fast the printer goes through ink and how much it costs. I have owned Epson, Canon, and HP ink jet printers and find this to be true of all of them. Changing brands wont find you cheaper ink. My solution--two printers. My default printer is a $99 Brother black and white laser that I use for all my everyday printing and prints several thousand pages from one $50 toner cartridge. I dont even turn the HP on unless I need to scan, fax, or print in color. It does those functions well, but the laser is a lot cheaper to operate and a lot faster.
