Epson's ink subscription service saves you money and means your printer never runs dry — and you can get six months of free ink with Currys

It happens to us all sooner or later: you have an important document that you need to print right now, you hit the Print button and then you get the dreaded notification that your printer's out of ink.

Obviously you'd meant to get fresh cartridges but you hadn't quite got around to it, and while you could order some right now and have them tomorrow, that's not soon enough, and honestly this is an unexpected expense that you'd rather have left until after you got paid.

Printers rarely run out of ink at a convenient time and not all of us are organised enough to have a spare set of cartridges on standby. Not to mention the fact that while they're not a huge spend, a new set of inkjet cartridges can put unwanted strain on your finances if you're on a tight budget.

If you rely on your printer, however, keeping it stocked with ink doesn't have to be a big problem; if you have an eligible Epson Expression Home or WorkForce cartridge printer, there's a subscription service available that means you're never without ink. Even better, you'll pay up to 70% less for it than if you were buying individual cartridges, and with Currys you can get six months of ink completely free. Here's what you need to know.

Introducing Epson ReadyPrint Flex

If shopping for ink cartridges is a hassle that you don’t need in your life, Epson's ReadyPrint Flex Ink subscription service is the answer. It's incredibly straightforward: if you have an eligible printer, simply work out how many pages you print each month, select a monthly plan – they start at just £1.99/month for 15 pages, while a more realistic 50 pages will cost you £4.49/month – and sign up.

Once you've subscribed, your printer will track your ink levels and when it detects that they're getting low, it'll automatically trigger a delivery of fresh ink without you having to lift a finger. Just like that, the worry of running out of printer ink becomes a thing of the past.

There's no upfront cost, and if you find you've over- or underestimated your printer use, you can change or cancel your plan any time. If you don't print your full allowance of pages in a month, your unused pages will automatically roll over for up to two months, which helps you get maximum value out of your subscription. Conversely, if you go over your limit there's a small per-page charge, between 3p and 18p, depending on your plan.

Want to save even more money? Currys has a special deal with Epson: sign up for a ReadyPrint Flex subscription of up to 100 pages/month before 31st December 2027 and use the CURRYS6 code, and your first six months will be free; see the terms and conditions for further information.

The sustainable option

If six months of free ink and hugely reduced ink costs aren’t big enough incentives for you, here's the clincher: using Epson ReadyPrint Flex is a much more eco-friendly option than buying your ink at retail.

Ink cartridges that are sent through ReadyPrint Flex use 75% less packaging than retail cartridges, and the cardboard packaging they arrive in is recyclable. In some cases Epson will use refilled cartridges rather than brand new ones; they perform just as well while reducing plastic waste and CO2 emissions.

In a similar vein, ReadyPrint Flex uses Epson XL ink cartridges rather than smaller sizes. XL inks mean fewer deliveries and less plastic used, both of which help reduce the environmental impact of your printer use.

Ready to make your printing cheaper and stress-free?

If you never want to have to worry about running out of printer ink again and you'd like to save money at the same time, an Epson ReadyPrint Flex subscription is the way to go if you have a compatible printer.
