Do these ink cartridges come in a box as shown and do they have expiration dates?
1954136
Yes to both questions. At least mine did. The expiration date was almost one year in the future.
1954137
The ones we received DID NOT come in a box, and they were stamped on the inner envelope with an OCT08.
1954138
no box and no exp. date on wrapper. I haven't opened up the wrappers yet so maybe it's on the cartridge?
1954139
No they do not come in a box. Yes there are expiration dates and the ones I received are well beyond the date, however they do work.

Mine did not come in a box, The HP Store no longer even shows the 56/57 Combo Package, The ones I received had dates on the foil pouch several years old. I returned them immediately, There are two dates yymmdd, one is the Manufacture date, the other is the Warranty date, or use-by date. I would only purchase these now from the HP Store with an online coupon for $10 off, they are easy to find.

They do not come packaged as shown. They are in individual seald bags. I have openned the color and am using. The black is marked "C6656A HP 56 Product of Malaysia". I cannot find any dates.

To the best of my understanding, expiration dates vary. I believe ink is created in batches. If you can, contact the seller.

As the Cartridges are remanufactured, Yes they have expiration dates. Basically, a company gets old used cartridges from a recycling partner (Staples, Best Buy, Target, etc.), cleans them, melts the HP logo, throws a sticker on them, replaces the factory chips with replacements, then refills and repackages them. They do leave the expiration dates on them as there is really no point in trying to remove it. The cartridges I received ranged from 2008 - 2012 as far as the expiration dates but it means absolutely nothing and effects them in no way.

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.

Didn't realize ink cartridges had expiration dates. The cartridges I ordered arrived tightly sealed in a foil-type envelope so I would estimate the cartridges would last an extremely long time.

I can't really answer because not to be an ass, but in my review, I said the cartridges I received did not work whatsoever. They were the right ones, right size, but when I ran a clean cycle then did an ink test, the ink was BARELY visible and was very bland, as if the cartridges were old/expired, or completely dried out. I payed for them as brand new, was not very happy.

yes, they come with cartridges. i've been using mine now for about 3 months - usually black only in draft mode - and the printer doesn't show any usage on them. the cartridges are all individual as well which i really like.

I looked but there were no dates indicated anywhere on the packaging or cartridges. I have experienced some head clogging with them. Not too bad but I've never had any significant clogging when using retail packaged Epson ink within thier expiration date.

I don't know if there is an expiration date. I didn't look for one. They were in HP packaging? I hope this helps you. I would order them again.

If you have the package the date will be on any one of the cartridges if you do not have a cartridge in a pack there's no way to find out the expiration date what I do is I use them even after the expiration date and they appear to work just fine good luck

Yes, that is the printer I have. But the cartridges I have purchased lately from online sources are near their expiration date.

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.

There are expiration dates, that are hard wired into the cartridges themselves...i have had some old cartridges(that i left in storage) that when i put them in my printer said the cartridge was expired..... i have not ever received and expired cartridge(s) from the seller. My current cartridges are not expired and are working just fine. I do not know the shelf life of the cartridges, you would have to ask seller.... Hope this helps.... cheerio

I have not ever thought about a expiration date because they last quite a while unless you don't print anything out for a very long time or the room where your computer is quite warm then they may dry out. The room where your computer is is supposed to be cool. I have not had any cartridges to dry out even when I don't use them very much.

Hello, thank you for the question. The expiration box on that item is Jul 2016. If you have any more question, please don't hesitate to ask, or just visit Priceless Ink & Toner (www.priceless-inkjet.com)

Tracy, The 98 cartridges do not have expiration dates. Some of the HP cartridges do and are listed on the HP web site. I have been using these cartridges for years and have never had a problem and I note the manufacturing date on my last order was 2012. I called HP on this some time ago and they said when they reach a certain age they are removed from the shelves and inventory. Hope this helps. Tom

I don't flat out see any listed expiration date on the box but there is a number stamped in black ink on one end of the box 130628that could be an exp date of 6-28-13 but I am not sure. that being said I only buy these one at a time and have never got a bad one yet. I just wait until the printer says it is low then I order one. it comes long before I actually run out. I have went several weeks sometimes before I actually need to change it.
