Use of a subscription service for ink/toner cartridges and/or printers allows HP to maintain post-sale control of a product the consumer used to purchache and own outright. Such practices limit autonomy and freedom of consumer to use the products they pay for as they see fit<ref> See section on limitation of printer usability</ref>. Further using a subscription service means the consumer uses these products under specific terms that can change at any time <ref name="TOS">[https://instantink.hpconnected.com/us/en/terms Terms of service HP instant ink] see section 3</ref> leaving them without recourse in many cases. | |||
Of note is also the limitation to use specific brands of ink extending market control of the manufacturer and locking the consumer to an ecosystem entirely under their control. | |||
