How long do the cartridges typically last before having to be replaced?

Toner life can be measured in number of prints being as the time it lasts depends on your use. So far I have had mine for 3 months and the original cartridges it came with are still working and the three colors still have 80% left and the black has 60% left. The cartridges it came with is listed to last 1,000 pages each while the OEM cartridges you would buy to replace them is listed to have a life of 2,200 pages for the black and 2,400 pages for the colors each at 5% toner coverage. Hope this helps.

Had thrown away the packaging, but I checked one of the cartridges. It's April 2016. Hope this helps.

It depends on when you buy it and from who. The ink usually lasts for 2 years. Most of the cartridges I buy don't expire at least 1 year from when I get them, sometimes 2 years! It might be problematic if you don't print a whole lot like me, but I never have to throw them away with old ink inside. Hope that helps!

The smaller black cartridge does not last as long but I print a lot of documents.the last one lasted 3 months compared to 5 months on the color.

I have never checked. I have never had a problem with the cartridges I have purchased.

I've definitely had them over three months (in the packaging), and have had no trouble when I've popped a new cartridge in the printer. Quality is good, longevity is good... So far, no problems! When leaving cartridges in the printer for a long period of time, I find that the heads need cleaning because they dry out. Even though this uses up ink, the quality afterward is good. I just do a test print when the quality is funky, to identify the trouble cartridge, and then I clean the heads.

I think you can squeeze more time out of them. It might not perform as good as if was a brand new cartridge, but still doing some good.

Ours have lasted more than a couple of months, but don't know exactly. We print daily 10 pps.

Good question! I don't think the answer is available before any individual purchases the set over the 'net. However, it's a pretty safe bet that you'll use up more than one of the cartridges well before the expiration date arrives, regardless.

As far as I can tell, I got these 25 May 2013. I posted my review 27 June 2013, and if memory serves, I installed two of the color cartridges not long before that, so at the time of installation I had probably had them about a month. I have no complaints. I would assume since they sell quite a few in a package, they don't expect them to dry up very quickly, and I believe I saw that they come with a 1-year guarantee. Hope this helps.

HI. It seams to last a fairly long time, compared to past printers I've owned.

Not sure how long they last actually. The original cartridges had a page count of about 1400, but often originals have a lower fill ("starter" cartridges). I only replaced the black and have the others as spares. I have had much better luck with laser printers, over inkjets due to the reliability. Ink cartridges always seemed to have dried out way before being used up.

I'm still laughing about the answer from "Mike2so Silicon Valley Native". I don't think I'd want the ink cartridges after they are "all raped up"! I've kept them for up to a year (all wrapped up) without a problem.

I purchased this printer in February of this year. I do a fair amount of printing and have yet to have the need to change the cartridge. I am very pleased with my purchase thus far. Good luck!

I find one site that sells cartridges (houzz.com) says "Each filter cartridge should be replaced within 45 to 60 days depending on usage. Today I talked to the UnitedStatesian distributor (not the Amazon distributor in Canada), and he says it's good for roughly 6-8 months showering 2 times a day.

I don't remember the exact number of pages or amount of time the starters lasted, but it wasn't long. They last longer than ink jet cartridges. I haven't changed the colors, but we primarily use black. This replacement set has a longer life span. Do not replace cartridges when the printer tells you to. You can take the cartridge out and vibrate it or shake it flat to loosen up toner and lengthen the life. Also, HP tells you WAY to early to change it. Just keep the cartridge in until your copies start fading.

There are expiration dates, that are hard wired into the cartridges themselves...i have had some old cartridges(that i left in storage) that when i put them in my printer said the cartridge was expired..... i have not ever received and expired cartridge(s) from the seller. My current cartridges are not expired and are working just fine. I do not know the shelf life of the cartridges, you would have to ask seller.... Hope this helps.... cheerio
