Is there an expiration date for this? I want to buy the 500 ml but only use toner once per day.

Items such as these "expire" (meaning become less effective) over the course of years. So, the 500ml will probably be fine for a long time after purchase.

It comes with a "starter" cartridge which is known to run out after 200-250 pages. You have to buy a normal cartridge very shortly. Original cartridges (2600 pages) are expensive but I had no problem with a compatible third-party one (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0062ZNYFK/, $11). There is also a setting that controls what will happen if toner is low (25% or below): default is stop working, but you can change it to continue working (device settings/remote setup/general setup/replace toner: "continue").

No sorry no expiration date was on package or cartridge. Item arrived in a generic type box with generic brand name on it... but it was packed the exact way HP packs the official product. It has worked exceptionally well up to now... as of now no regrets.

That is a good question; I've not checked the exact amount of time we've previously had a spare toner cartridge on the shelf, but I'm guessing about ~6 months before installing with no problems I can recall. I think as long as it is stored within the recommended temperature range, and in a dry location, it would be ok?

My product has a lot number and expiration date on it. I have been using this product for over four years now and have never had an issue. You can contact the manufacturer at the phone number listed on the product and express your concerns and I'm sure they will be happy to help you out.

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).

That's a reasonable question for the selling vendor, but Amazon forwarded it to other customers to answer! Since I bought mine months ago, I doubt that the expiration date on my box will help you. In my experience, the shelf life of these is near infinite BEFORE THE SEAL IS TAKEN OFF; they dry out or get gunked up if they sit in the printer too long after having been opened - that happened to me once on a color cartridge when I was printing mostly black.

I'm not aware of any new toner products since my last purchase in February of 2013. The Q5949A toner I purchased works flawlessly.

As far as I can see there is not,how ever toner as a rule as long as it is contained in a cartridge or a bottle it can lasts for years but if its left open to the air/elements it will not last,again I have not tested this only going by what I have heard and seen over the years working with copy machines that require toner v/s ink.

Good Question! I just checked the box I received a couple days ago and could not find an expiration date. Sorry. I do a lot of work on old photos, so I go through ink fairly quickly.

Hello classical1, The date on Canon toner cartridges is the date of manufactured. Our toner cartridges do not have an expiration date. We hope you find this helpful.

Dear Judy,Yes. I have been using these tablets for several years; my drugstores no longer carry them, so I was happy that amazon does. In my current batch of tablets, they expired last month; however, I will continue to use them for 9 more weeks. My understanding is that the rule of thumb for pharmaceuticals such as this are actually good for 6 months beyond the expiration date. If you have not yet purchased them, you might want to buy only one box (12 weeks' supply.) You also might want to check with a pharmacist. Good luck! P.S. Another good brand is Ultrazyme. I think amazon carries it, and it may have a later expiration date. Dear Judy,Yes.

no. I just bought the toner about a month ago. I bought the printer about three years ago. I wanted a spare, since this toner I am using now is a couple years old.

I bought my HL-2230 in 2012, and I'm still using the same original toner cartridge. Obviously, I don't print very much, but the point is that it has lasted about 2 years, so a sealed package should last for quite a while.

dont know if there was an expiration date on pkg. However, it depends on how much printing you doon how long cartridge lasts. Mine last 5 or 6 months.
