I've received the email
On HP instant ink website, you still have free plan option
Can I cancel and sign up again?

The way I understand is you cannot use the ink provided through the plan once the Instant Ink plan is cancelled, but you should be fine using your own ink.

I went over one month on the starter cartridge... I should have never enrolled in instant ink, what a scam. Ended up giving HP an extra buck and my usage data.

It also seems like new plans pricing is adjusted for your particular printer model - my cheapest plan will be $0.99/month compared to $1.25 on screenshot above. I have Envy 4520 printer.

You are also required to return the "instant ink." Not sure if they will follow through and charge you if you don't.

Thanks for the update, haven't received the email yet. I probably end up paying $1 or $2 for extra pages every other month or so, this still works out well for me.
