What is the shelf life of these cartridges?

The actual "shelf life" I couldn't tell you. I had one rattling around in my tool box for a little over 3 years before I finally used it. Butane lasts forever as far as I know. As long as you check them from time to time for leaks they should last for as long as you want them too. I can tell you they are very durable, banging around with the rest of my tools probably wasn't the greatest idea if it got punctured but it held up fine. Just store them in a cool dry place away from any heat, put them in plastic bags to keep dirt out of them. They should last for many years. I hope this helps.

the expiration dates on these cartridges is 15/03/23. I have had some from the same seller that were dated 13/09/23 and utilized those without any problems as far as quality or performance. I hope this helps.

I've had mine about six months and just installed one of the cartridges. Worked great!

From my experience. There is no way of knowing what the expiration date is for the cartridges being shipped. You will not know what the expiration date is until you actually receive the cartridge. The date is on the package when you receive it.

I haven't had to buy any replacement cartridges yet. I've had mine for several months, using it a couple times a week.

All cartridges have a oem date, but if sealed in original packaging, the cartridges can last several years. I have some from 2011 and they work fine. I have new ones also and all work the same.

This is in addition to my previous comment. In my experience, the cartridge does not work if it is past 6 months of the expiration date.

As long as they're stored properly they should be fine. I bought these and it took me about a year to use them and had no problems. I just bought more actually. They run out a bit faster than the epson brand if you do a lot of printing but the savings still are much higher than if you buy the name brand.

There's not any expiration date. The cartridges are sealed until they are installed in the printer and they last until they are depleted.

I don't know. Both of mine quit working before I could replace the cartridges.

There is no expiration date because the cartridges are vacuum sealed and aren't exposed to the atmosphere until you unseal the package.

Sorry, I've had them so long I don't remember the numbers on my original cartridges. They've worked well enough though.

The date on the package is the warranty expiration date. It DOES NOT mean that the cartridge is no good after the date.

It depends on the laser cartridge. They make some to last as little as 2,500 and as much as 50,000+.

All printer inks have an expiration date printed on the box. If it isn't, I have no idea.

That's a reasonable question for the selling vendor, but Amazon forwarded it to other customers to answer! Since I bought mine months ago, I doubt that the expiration date on my box will help you. In my experience, the shelf life of these is near infinite BEFORE THE SEAL IS TAKEN OFF; they dry out or get gunked up if they sit in the printer too long after having been opened - that happened to me once on a color cartridge when I was printing mostly black.
