How long does the ink last stored?

I usually keep around a 60 to 90 day supply on hand with no problems noticed.

I used them for about 10 hours total and the only one that ran out of ink quickly was the black one. 5 hours into their use the black one was half full. Also the tip wears down depending how hard you press so keep it light.

I used it after a month and I had to go through the print head cleaning cycle. Usually a gap of 6 months dries out ink tanks on most printers. Better would be to remove ink tanks and put their twist-off caps back on and put them in a ziplock and reinstall when needed. Ink can still dry out but at least it won't clog up the print head. If you don't want to do this print a page in color every 2 weeks. Also switch off the printer completely in between uses to make ink last longer.

I think that mostly depends on wheter you print alot or not. i do average printing - 20 sheets a week and the ink toner has lasted about 7 months on average

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

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.

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.

It all depends on how much you print, there's three bottles of black, and one of each color for your color cartridge. I don't print that much but I still have almost fill bottles. So I would say, it would last one person a long time.

We use our printer a lot. The XL's have lasted over 7 months, approx. 8 months.

The Ink doesn't expire. It does have a "limited warranty date" which may or may not still be valid.

Yes. The longer it has been plugged the longer it will take to dissolve the hardened ink deposits.

As I recall, the shelf life is one or more years. I was pleased with the inks and will purchase more when it is time. I'm on my 9th printer since my first computer in 1987. I have purchased after market inks before and these are as good as any I've ever had. You can't tell the difference when oprinting.

not sure but one possibility is that the ink will no longer be good if it isn't used by the date printed on the package. I have always used up the ink well befoer the date on the package so have never had that problem. I would certainly not buy a package that has an expiration date that is not at least six or more months out from the date of purchase.

I can't say for sure, but I use my calculator daily and I print, so that uses up the ink quickly. If you don't mind a not so sharp printed tape, I'd guess the ribbon is good for 3-4 months.....but I know for a fact I've had ribbons in my calculator for over a year because I was too lazy to find a place that sells these ribbons.

It states in my manual that it's suggested to consume the ink within 6 months after opening the seal of an ink bottle. It does not state what happens if it stays longer... Maybe the print color quality fades or maybe higher risk of clogging the print heads... Don't really know! :-(

It is the date the company guarntee the ink to operate properly. The date is usually about two year from the date of manufacture. When received from a company inventory the cartrige was good for 12-15 months.
