You know what it’s like. The one time you have to have something printed out at home and of course, your printer has run out of ink. It’s Murphy’s Law that this happens when there’s a deadline for a school assignment or you’re printing something for work which has to be done right now.
Hewlett Packard (HP) today launched Instant Ink in Australia – the first ink subscription service for home printing – meaning you’ll never run out of ink again. One of Australia’s most beloved chefs, Manu Feildel, has partnered with HP to celebrate Australia’s treasured family recipes thanks to hassle-free printing and Instant Ink.
To celebrate the launch of Instant Ink and preserving Australia’s family recipes, HP and Manu are calling for people to share images of their treasured family recipes on Instagram, with one lucky winner being brought to Sydney to have Manu cook their family recipe in his kitchen.
HP partnered with Australian TV personality and renowned chef, Manu Feildel, to celebrate how much we love to cook and of course – we need to print recipes!
Feildel says he personally understands the pressure of cooking without a printed recipe – and as a father, business owner and passionate home-cook, he knows the frustration of running out of ink at crucial moments all too well!

Designed with the Planet in Mind
With nine million subscribers worldwide already, Instant Ink allows users to have an uninterrupted workflow while keeping the planet top of mind.
This is because Instant Ink helps promote closed loop cartridge recycling by using HP’s Forest First program. When you subscribe to the service, satchels for empty cartridges are delivered to your door when cartridges need to be disposed of, ensuring that recycling is easier and accessible.
As part of HP’s Planet Partners, HP works with Close the Loop and Planet Ark to repurpose your used ink cartridges and save them from going to landfill.
Family Ink-Gredients
With more people working and learning from home amid the pandemic, at-home printing has seen a resurgence. But it’s not just in working and learning that printing plays a role in our lives, with recipes being one of Australia’s favourite things to print.
