who's getting expired ink? Happened to me twice.

This HP ink does not expire. Look up this information directly from the HP website. The date you guys are seeing that is stamped is the warranty date. Anything after that date HP will not replace (assuming you bought direct).

Expired ink is usually sold VERY cheap, and often works just as well as unexpired ink. I have several times ordered it and used it same as new supply. The one time I ordered expired and it was totally dried out and would not work, I contacted seller and asked to return it and I would send back as proof of defective unusable cartridges. Seller simply gave me a refund of product and shipping and did not want the item--told me to just throw it away. Purchase was risk free and I did get some great values on the expired stuff that worked just fine.

When I ordered the one that came wasn't expired. I think it's just an old picture.

That wasn't my experience. I only found out when the package arrived and they were almost expired already. That only happened with one resseller. It was the cheapest price.

This has not been as issue for me. But if you receive something like this again, that is expired, I would immediately return.

I have never paid attention to the expiration dates on ink. I didn't even know there was such a thing. Guess I will pay attention now.

Yup same problem here. I hate it. I purchased it because their commercials at the time said the ink lasted longer and was cheaper. What a lie!

Some "New" cartridges aren't really "New". May have been in the shelve too long even if the expiration date is still good. I open ink cartridges everyday and I see a lot of such. Try another color cartridge

there was no expiration date on ink, if it was I don't go by exp. dates. The cartridge worked for me just fine, I am about to reorder more now.

Not always new, I received both cartridges outside of the box and the black cartridge was fresh and new, but the color one did not work and was dated 2008. I was given a refund.

The expiration date is stamped on the outside of the cartridge.Also some cartridges have a date coded chip inside and if it expired, it wil not allow the printer to print, until you put a new un-expired ink cartridge in.

Here's the link that tells you exactly which ink expires and how to manage: http://h10060.www1.hp.com/pageyield/en-019/articles/inkExpiration.html?cCode=us

Yep, I still have 100 freshly sealed-packed 'HP Premium Plus' and some opened quantity of 50 (for a total of about 150 or so), fed it to the Artisan 810 and the results were atrocious! The ink does not dry and the pics looked like a bunch of old photographs from 1981 -- sort of yellowish, brownish sepia effect with black dots all over. Then I decided to print on some of the samples that came along with the Epson and the prints were the best I've seen so far, also, the inks dried up instantly. As a matter of fact they looked better than the ones produced by your local Walgreen's or Rite-Aid.

I don't know what you mean by "expired". The cartridges are still available and I purchase them regularly. Have you had the cartridges for a long period of time and kept them away from heat and stored them in a cool place. . If you keep the cartridges over a period of time it is possible that they may have dried-up. Is it just one cartridge or all that are not working? I personally have never had a problem with the cartridges. Hope this helps you out.

If there is a date, it'll be stamped somewhere on the box. If there isn't one then contact the seller or HP with your question. I'm not sure all of the boxes have dates. Also remember those dates don't necessarily mean the cartridge won't work. I've used some that were expired and they worked fine.

I just got one that had an expiration of 2012... I would look to another seller for this... as the current seller PCNPRINT is selling expired print heads as if they were new (i.e. at retail prices).

I haven't received my new order, but checked the last one that's now gone & I'm replacing. Expiration date is at least a year and a half. I would't worry too much about that, but I wouldn't order till I see the low ink message on the printer. That way your replacement's fresh enough for a year or more.
