Instant Ink Cartridge Locked? - Can they be used in a different Instant Ink capable Printer?
I see Instant Ink cartridges for sale on eBay. I've always wondered how someone could get them to work since HP support told me the cartridges are locked to the printer they were sent for. I decided to give it a try and document the findings in this video.

Deskjet 2734e - Confusing Experience with a Problematic Printer

15 Days with ZEVO FLYING INSECT TRAP - Did it catch anything? More info on UV Concerns True Cost
I just bought two 16 packs of Energizer AA at Publix, as they were out of the Duracell. However now that I hear about all the reports that are leaking I won't buy them anymore. I couldn't see where the energizer were made the package says the country of manufacture is on the batteries, but you can't read that until you by the package and open it which should not be that way. Anyway, they were made in China, which according to your test means they're pretty good. I have previously bought several packs of the Duracell Quantum, the ones with the resealable package, and I have never been able to find a date of manufacturer or expiration date on them. In my experience they do not last very long in devices such as a digital audio recorder. They seem to die much quicker than the regular alkaline batteries or the Energizer Max, or whatever.
Office Space it and get a laser!
Ha!
I must say it’s a massive scam without you realising. I say this as someone who used it for 6.5 years. I upgraded my plan 3 times during the term until recently when i had to print a lot. They kept charging me for every 10 pages without any warning. I have £97 bill for using the printer i paid for, the ink paid for and the paper I paid for. Finally cancelled it. BUT i will continue getting charged during the billing cycle because I am over my limits. Moreover they have control of your printer to monitor InstantInk. So you won’t be use any after market ink as it gets blocked. Factory reset doesn’t help either. Now waiting for the billing cycle to end. Please don’t subscribe to it.
Nope
Nope
This is frustrating. If you don't accept H+, can you still get firmware updates and install drivers? Also, can you still use the printer scanner, fax, and everything it described on the website, except for the premium apps that come with H+. Don't even know what's the premium apps are. Other than that of printing anywhere in the world which I don't care for that. I just want to print and scan.
All HP+ is, at least as I see it, is a setup option that can be accepted or rejected. A choice made once. If you accept HP+ you are granted additional warranty time, and some app perks. For that you are allowing them to lock the printer to only accept HP inks. All other printer functions are the same. Reject HP+ and you are free to use generic/off-brand inks. All other functions: Print/Scan/Copy/Updates/Drivers would be unaffected by the choice of HP+ or not.
Haha I see a teaser for the next KevCentral video (Vitesse)
Not next, but upcoming 😁
Definitely considering this blower, my current toro gas handheld blower is old and heavy and a ton of vibration that wears on my hands while I’m using it, that’s why I’m going from that one to a cordless, I heard it’s super light but powerful.
I’ll have a video on what I replaced this with coming very soon. Craftsman, but with throttle
Nice overview - And someone that knows how to pour a quart of oil! :)
It's the same exact as the Cub cadet just another color... So if you hate your Cub cadet you will definitely hate your Craftsman...😊
I think what makes us so angry about printers is that when they fail, it derails us from our tasks, and makes itself our sole focus, and barrier to success. Being caused to fail by an object that failed us brings a sense of betrayal, beyond having to rearrange all our other plans in order to find another way to do it's job.
Return it and buy a laser printer. Preferably an old one without an internet connection. Even a color laser would be better. What do you expect for 40 Dollars? I've worked in IT since 1994. The only inkjet printer I have ever seen at work were large format plotters and other specialized non-standard printers. Inkjet printers suck. They follow the replaceable razor blade model. They build them cheap to a price, sell them at cost and make money on the ink. Laser printers are for people with an accounting department. Plus, if you buy a good one, they are built to a much higher standard and are field serviceable with service manuals, spare parts availability and many other high end stuff.
I need an Internet connection on a printer. I regularly send files to the printer from elsewhere. Inkjet ink prices are mitigated with Instant Ink
@@kev-reviews This can be accomplished without it.
@@kev-reviews Instant Ink is even more expensive than ink. Toner is way cheaper.
@tarstarkusz not true at all. A color laser printer requires 4 separate toner cartridges. That adds up quick and rapidly outpaces the cost of an inkjet with instant ink subscription. Not to mention the entry level color laser printer cost is ~$300.
@@kev-reviews The toner lasts a lot longer. You don't need to buy a new one every couple of months. None of the toner is wasted and it's cheaper on a per page basis. Toner cartridges are more money up front, but much cheaper per page. Instant ink is a ripoff for most people and there is a good reason why HP just lost a lawsuit about it and nobody likes it. Laser printers are more money up front, but they are built much better. They are also not suitable for high quality pictures. But it is cheaper to print high quality pictures professionally than it is to print them on an inkjet printer and with much better results. Not only is the ink expensive, but you need special paper for a photograph like finish. The professionally printed ones last forever, like a regular picture. I have pictures of my parents when they were kids in the 40s. I have pictures I personally printed as recently as 2010 that I had to toss because of differential fading.
How can you possibly be happy with a printer that lasted 2 years? Your standards are ridiculously low. There is no need whatsoever to have to replace a printer every 2 years. My HP Laserjet 2100 is from like 1998. I still own a Laserjet 3, I just don't use it anymore. Laser printers are far, far superior to inkjet. They are better in every conceivable way. They have much lower consumables cost. They are way faster. They are far sharper. The print doesn't degrade with time. The toner last for many, many years and none of it is wasted with cleaning cycles.
Because it was free, and expectations scale with cost
@@kev-reviews You get what you pay for, and free is usually the worst choice in my opinion...my Brother Lazer printer has been spitting out Cristal clear pages for about 8 years, and have only changed one ink color, black....
By free I mean I was gifted the precious printer as a Christmas present
the 2.4/5ghz network thing is so obnoxious. I upgraded to a wifi 6 linksys and haven't had issues since, because wifi6 has a single SSID
My network has both on a single SSID
@@kev-reviews Yeah I typed that halfway through the video lol. I dunno man, printers are haunted.
@Tarkov. We. An disregard the comment about me being without ink for the first time. I went to my mailbox and the shipment for this printer was in the mailbox. Mail ran earlier today, so I actually had the ink before this cartridge ran out. That’s impressive
I got this church this year, too! It's beautiful! Do you think you could make a video about how you set up and stake your blow molds in your yard? That would be awesome! I really need some ideas.
What about rechargeable NiMH batteries
I haven’t tested any of those since the bulk of my battery use is for holiday decorations. Keeping enough chargers to meet the pace of demand would be a nightmare for me.
A little bit obsessed? I bet your home looks like Santa's workshop every x-mas. Cool
If i had the money that would be the ultimate goal. I do extensive decorations, but nowhere near what I would do with available funds 🎅

I have had my easyplant money tree for 1 1/2 years. Size medium. It has grown twice its size and looks good but one stem is a little soft probably has root rot. I think I lost track and watered it too frequently a few times. Trying to figure how to remove it from the pot and inspect the roots. I will buy a meter. Thanks
My luck hasn’t been so good with easyplant money trees - and a few other easyplants. Sad, because I like the concept and look of their pots. Here’s a video where I took a plant out and inspected the pot. Maybe seeing the insides will help you out: Diagnosing an easyplant pot | What made it a PLANT KILLER! th-cam.com/video/fQkFATKp2P4/w-d-xo.html
@@kev-reviews Perhaps reach out to them again. I was inquiring about a bigger pot and sent a photo of 1 problematic stem and they shipped me a new money tree plant yesterday. I am going to be very careful with watering from now on.
Don’t get me wrong. Their warranty is great and any plants I’ve had problems with have been refunded or replaced. They even warrantied one plant after the official warranty ended. My problem is with the spotty QC on the self watering system that has led to problems with 3 of my plants. I have 2 others that over moisten the soil, but I suspect that’s more the potting mix they chose than the wick in the pot.
I got 24 years out of my last Craftsman 15.5 hp mower. Now I've had a T 3200 Craftsman for two years. Within the first 30 days a bolt holding one of the pulleys broke and rendered the mower useless while I fought with Craftsman over the warranty for a few weeks. I finally gave up and took the deck down to my local mower repair shop and had the problem fixed for $40. Since that time the mower has performed flawlessly. I have two acres to mow so I'm happy with reliability of everything except that broken bolt. I self service this mower and recently replaced the blades and deck belt. Its very easy to work on. It may not be perfect, but for the most part has done well. I love it's tight turning ability.
Thanks for sharing
Can’t you just fill it up again? Maybe it just needs to be at least half way full
The easyplant pots are supposed to be set up so that the reservoir can water the plant until the last drop. If they quit moving moisture at a certain point the wick isn’t properly installed in the reservoir. Yes, you could top water past the point where the transfer stops, but this is a premium product - a key feature of the premium product - so it makes no sense to accept anything other than proper function. That said, since they did refund the purchase price I’m trying to salvage the plant. I fished a wire around the back side of the reservoir in hopes of freeing the wick, and I added some mix to fill in the sunken areas in the soil. 🤞 it pulls through
I believe the Home Depot blowmolds would more likely be used in a porch or portico where they'd be illuminated from surrounding light.
Blow molds are supposed to have a light bulb with a cord in them 😂😂😂😂😂
@beatriceguzman8279 These are clearly just decorative decor.
Don’t get any HP product after I can’t get my 6 months old printer to print because I didn’t sign up for their ink subscription .when you tell people want they can and can’t do that bull!

You didn't explained the difference... I know the how tapered is different from straight i need to know why i aould want one or the other
I'm sure it depends on the local source. If the person there understands how it works and is careful when potting the plant it can work. If the repotting person does not understand what needs to happen, or is careless when potting, your chances are slim.

Your outlet hasn't yellowed. You have an Ivory or Light Almond colored outlet. You've installed a White cover plate. If you want the colors to match, change the outlet to a White one or get a different cover plate in the correct color to match your outlet (either Ivory or Light Almond - I'm not sure looking at the video). If necessary buy both colors, use the one that matches, and return the other one.
