I purchased extra ink when I purchased the printer and it was over 6 months ago, all cartridges have been replaced in the last month and all were good, so at least 6 months.

I can't answer for sure, but I have had some for at least a year that I have used without any problems. They are very well sealed and I do sort of shake them before using just in case the ink has settled.

Because the cartridges are sealed with a piece of tape and hermetically sealed in a plastic cup I would think as long as you store them in a cool dark place there shouldn't be a problem. The sealed cups have printing on them but not an expiration date,I've stored them for months without problems- and I live in the high desert.

As with other responses, sorry but I threw the boxes away. No reason to keep then; my cartridges worked as expected. They still do. By the way, I learned my lesson: Buy cheap? That's what you'll get. Hope this helps you some.

Since these are brand new, that question cannot be answered -- all depends on the lot that they take it from. New cartridges generally run 1-2 years prior to expiration. Mine (from Amazon) was 2 years out - 2017.

I replaced the cartridge few months ago still printing I am unable to tell you how long is going to last I used it on a daily basis.

on the bottom of the box there is an expiration or best before date. frequency of use will help determine whether you will be using completely the new cartridge. i always buy the double black, for instance, and when i put in the second one, i buy a new box. i have never had a problem.

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

Sorry, I didn't even check that. They worked fine. The printer has since died so I won't be able to know how long the ink lasts either.

My purchased cartridges all expire in 2014 - they range from July to October of that year. Each cartridge box is individually stamped with the warranty date.

I have open cartridges several times over the past year and have had no problems . I am careful to shake the cartridges as suggested. Since I have almost two full sets not used yet, I hope the expiration date is several years and I expect it to be if cartridges remain sealed inside the plastic wrap..

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

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

As long as the tanks are sealed or are not stored outside the recommended 32 to 104 F temperature range, the tanks should last indefinitely Canon ink does not expire. hope that helps!

Sorry, I just bought this a few weeks ago, the printer is about 4 years old now. I have been printing daily with this cartridge and wanted to not have to deal with replacing it for a long time.

Victoria, I have had them two weeks and they are working fine. The unused ones have a good seal on the ink discharge point and each cartridge is sealed in a air tight plastic wrapper. I don't anticipate them drying out.
