Do the ink cartridges dry out quickly if not used everyday?

This is an awful bad printer to begin with so don't recommend it to someone to purchase it. It is only good if you have only one or two pages of random printing, but I do have more than that and paper gets stuck and shredded in it, so can not tell if ink would dry out if long time not used, but having 3rd time around replaced by HP under warranty and still having same issued with other replacements that they send just stay away from this one!

My experience is they do not. I only use the printer when I travel, which is once or twice a month and there can be many weeks in between use.

I have mine mounted in a E150 van. Some days it's 100 degrees in that van. Not one problem since I purched the printer. Would highly recommend.

Yes, even after repeated warning I printed documents. However once the ink is gone the quality is really bad. You could probably go at least a couple of months if you don't print daily.

No, I have only used the black cartridges and do not use the printer more than a couple times a week.

not very long depending on how much you print... I PRINT ALOT AND GO THRU A CARTRIDGE OF EACH A WEEK. AND THE REFILL INK IS TERRIBLE

The HP cartridges I have filled with this ink work well. I would imagine, if refilled and unused for a long period of time, the jets may dry as with any factory filled cartridge. As another person mentioned, refill the cartridge at the first streaking or irregularity you notice in the print, don't run it completely dry.

Don't think mine self-cleans daily, but it does do it periodically. I just may not happen to be in the room with it if it does the self-cleaning daily. No jamming problems, maybe happened once or twice when making copies with the ADF. Have only had to replace the black ink cartridge once in 17 months (I use the larger cartridges) and did not have a problem with the printer recognizing it. This is a decent, economical all in one in my experience with it. I read some negative reviews, but for the price I took a chance and got a good little printer and have been very satisfied with it.

We use the larger capacity cartridge and have never had a problem with drying but we've not had them last more than about 3 or so years. I would also think you'd want to qualify any answers you receive as the environment in your workspace would definitely have an impact.

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.

Yes, and I would highly recommend them since the regular cartridges have such short use. Much more cost efficient!

It's anybody's guess. I purchased a 15 a few months ago and it went dry within 2 months. And that's with minimal printer use. Shaking it up hard seems to help. I was too lazy to try and get a new one again since it's from an individual seller and not a store.

this happens frequently. Sometimes if you remove them, shake them, and then re-insert they work a while longer. I think all of the cartridges waste ink though, not just the re-manufactured.

Sorry, I don't use Epson ink (my hubby does) and though I change the ink I have not noticed. I would think there would be because I know it will dry up if left in a printer and not used for a time.

The one that came with mine is still working strong. I don't print very much. But do know all cartridges will dry up if not used or shaken up periodically.

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 have not found that they run out quickly, but I have found that the smaller black ink does not empty as it should. It uses the larger 250 black ink. I'm about to remove this cartrige and replace it to see if it was a faulty cartrige. I have alot of photos I want to print, then I will see how quickly they run out, but so far, it's been worth the price of the item.

Yes the ink does stick well, I have an inkjet printer which does automatic double sided printing, what I found though was that it was best to let the ink dry for a few seconds on the first side before printing on the opposite side.

Well the only problem I have had with the cartridges when I load them in the printer says there expired. But the massage goes away and they work fine . And the printer doesn't say they are out of ink until they are fully empty.
