Was ist not good? I was considering it for home use, since I very rarely print anything and the 1€ a month would maybe be worth it for a headache-free printing experience.
If you understand that it's basically a Netflix subscription for ink, it works great, especially if you print photos it can save a lot of money. If you print a few things a month and suddenly go to 400 pages, you might run out of ink before the next set arrives.
When you anticipate running out soon, you have to give CS a call and ask them to send the next set of cartridges sooner than later.
Still, anything is better than paying full retail for refills at Cartridge World.
If you rarely print and don't need to print in color, I would suggest getting a printer that uses toner instead of ink cartridges. Those printers are a bit more expensive and so is the toner, but what's really nice is that you can print like a thousand pages on a single toner cartridge - and those will never dry up due to being a powder. You can get a no-frills Brother one for under $100 when they go on sale, and HP has some that can also go under $100 on sale.
That being said, if you don't mind paying 12€ a year for not printing most of the time, then go for it, but like @scarcer said, you will need to reach out to HP and call them if you plan on printing more than what your plan normally allows.
If you have too many cardriges, and you decide to stop paying, you cannot print anymore.
I suggest an ink tank printer
Because you spent $5 a month instead of $50 on cartridges of ink that will dry up in 3 months if they don't get used. If you need an ink tank, then you aren't worried about photo quality, in which case a laser is better.
Laser printer my friend. Pricey at first, but won't dry out or tell you to go fuck yourself like an inkjet.
Look into used laser printers too. If you can find an actual business grade printer, you'll enjoy cheap, huge aftermarket cartridges.
I had a Laserjet 5 until like 2020, and it still worked fine; a bit slow and I had some bad luck with cartridges with crappy drums.
I've got a Brother MFC-something. It isn't the fastest, but it's a workhorse. I think upfront it was about $450, but for both my wife and I's businesses, it's great.
