Have Ink and Paper Automatically Delivered to Your Presto Printing Mailbox

Community Headlines — Thu, 17 Dec 2009 16:48:25 GMT

Remembering to buy new ink cartridges and paper for your Printing Mailbox can be a thing of the past. If you sign up for Presto's Supplies Subscription service, a genuine HP97 tri-color replacement ink cartridge will automatically be sent to your Presto user when the ink cartridge is running low. Optionally, you can also have a ream of either HP Bright White Inkjet Paper or "Presto Memories" Premium 3-Hole Punched Inkjet Paper sent along with every other ink cartridge. As long as you use genuine HP ink cartridges, the Printing Mailbox informs Presto how much ink is remaining when it retrieves the mail. This ensures the Supplies Subscription program sends a replacement cartridge only when it is needed. And, you can turn on or off the automatic Supplies Subscription (or just the paper replenishment) directly from your PrestoConnect homepage. Simply sign in to your account, click on the "Manage printer settings" link, and select "Automatic Supplies Subscription Service." You'll be able to sign up right there! There is no extra cost for the Supplies Subscription service beyond the cost of ink, paper and delivery. Pricing can be found on the "Supplies Subscription" page of the PrestoConnect homepage referenced above.
