- I have not had that problem with my ink cartridges only toners, if ever you put a new ink cartridge in your printer and it uncommonly reads low ink I'd advice you to rifle your office for pranksters... JackAss episodes aren't in our very distant rear view mirrors. I do wish I could get more use out of those ink cartridges though, the color doesn't seem to last very long when printing pictures.

you didn't do anything wrong. I had the same problem and the company would not do anything about them because it was past so many days! Everywhere else I ordered the cartridges from were good up to a year if there was a problem. Not this company. some of my were not recognized by the printer, so they weren't any good to me. Other ones leaked in the bag. I've been trying to use them up, but I have to clean the heads alot too. These are garbage and amazon should stopselling them.

It takes me about a year to go through the entire pack. I've had no issue with any of the cartridges drying out.

I don't about that but I do know that they did not preform for me. I only used the black cartridges a few times (5 or 6 maybe) and they were dry. I don't think it is a good buy unless they are doing something different now.

I am a repeat buyer from this seller and have found these cartridges to be inconsistent. Most of them last as long as the "high" capacity OEM cartridges. I have had one or two that did not last that long however. I'm not sure if it is a problem with the cartridge or my printer however. I'm sorry I couldn't be more definitive in my answer but if I had to say one way or the other, I would say that they are more comparable to the "high" capacity. I hope this helps.

The same has happened to me, they tend to dry-out if not used. If you used them, try to verify you have not run out of ink.

I don't think so. I've ordered a new cartridge and kept it in the box, unopened, for 3 maybe 4 weeks before using it...never had a problem with the toner.

The toner runs out quickly, maybe a month tops. The other two last longer as I used them less.

I'm not sure how to take your question. If you mean, did these cartridges come dried out/out of date, my answer is no. They are good quality. If you mean are these for an old model printer, then yes, they are. But my old HP deskjet 5550 keeps printing better than some of the newer printers we have at work. I hope that his helps you.

I have not had any issues with the toner. I have not replaced my yellow cartridge yet. Clean copies with all the other colors. I would get it replaced.

While I did not count the number of pages printed, it was comparable to the number printed out from OEM cartridges. In fact, some generic cartridges seemed to equal the number printed from the extended-life cartridges. In terms of drying out, the good thing about laser toners is that they are dry to begin with, so they can last for years and years and not suffer degradation. Inkjet cartridges have a limited shelf-life, but I don't think laser toners do. If they do, then it is a very long shelf life. I use generic toner cartridges now because of substantial savings. Hope this helps.

I recognize similar behavior in the refills I purchased/use. I say they issue very full amounts of ink initially. I wouldn't call them duds. Frankly I've had to replace these when I not used them for 'n' days and they were more difficult/less fun to write with. Not sure they're duds maybe the norm?

I hardly ever use my printer and it has not been a problem leaving in the cartridges. I think your cartridge would dry out (maybe) either way, so why take them out?

Yes. I usually use a generic toner. Both the standard and extended have been used and both work for me.

To my knowledge, toner will remain usable for a very long time, assuming there are no drastic changes in humidity where the printer is located. My first cartridge lasted 9 months with infrequent use.

Sometimes. Soimetimes Not. I had a difficult time and had to discard a number of cartridges. Not sure, but my printer has never been the same since.
