I don't know the age of the cartridge. The one I ordered is still working in my printer now (and it's not low yet). Mine came as shown, original HP product and packaging. I have never had problems with buying the orginal HP cartridges (only with remanufactured ones by other suppliers).

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.

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.

The seller would have to provide this information. This is from my recent purchase. This review is from: HP 98 (C9514FN) Black Original Ink Cartridges, 2 pack (Office Product) Received today 1-14-2015, 2 day prime- Perfect - Important note - exp on pkg is Sep. 2016. ( exp date is on back right hand side, labeled Warranty ends: ) Exp date is important to me, as I have had some problems over the years with cartridges "drying out".

I'm guessing that there will be a different expiration date for each set of ink cartridges. They'll still work long after the expiration date. My printer (Photosmart C5140) tells me every time I power it on that my cartridge has expired but doesn't keep me from using it. I think its been expired for a year now. It just lets me know that they might not honor the warranty if I use expired ink.

I bought 2 HP56 and discovered the expiration date on the 1st one I opened was 2006. The were NOT in the original retail packaging as shown on the webpage. The only way to see the date was to open the foil package. I'm not a happy camper.

Had thrown away the packaging, but I checked one of the cartridges. It's April 2016. Hope this helps.

There is no official expiration date. The package is sealed and the cartridge inside is sealed so they should last a long time. I've been using these for years and have never had one go bad. However, some inkjet printers will only allow a cartridge to stay in place for a limited amount of time. When the package has been opened and the cartridge is installed in the printer, the ink dries out and slowly begins to thicken. After while, when the ink gets too thick, it will plug up the print head so the printer cannot operate properly. You can store a sealed ink cartridge for a long time, but you should plan to replace the ink cartridge in your printer a couple times a year to keep the ink fresh and make sure your printer will continue to operate properly. I like to write the date on the cartridge when I place it in the printer so I know how long it's been there.

Sorry I don't have the expiration date, it was probably on the shipping box that I returned with the old cartridge. I did buy this printer on information from an official Hewlett Packard serviceman's recommendation that he has been using the replacement for almost 2 years and that he prints documents in excess of 2000 and his was still printing perfect. I am hoping for half that. Jocelyn

If there is a date, it'll be stamped somewhere on the box. If there isn't one then contact the seller or HP with your question. I'm not sure all of the boxes have dates. Also remember those dates don't necessarily mean the cartridge won't work. I've used some that were expired and they worked fine.

The cartridges came in a plastic bag that was marked "HP96/97 Ink Cartridge in Retail Packagings-Combo Pack New" The individual cartridges were in HP packaging, no box, no expiration date.Also, there was a card enclosed that stated they were being shipped "box-less" as a Green, less wasteful solution.

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.

It seems to me they have already expired. When I used them I had to continually shake them to get them to print. I have since given up on my HP printer and just bought an Epson.

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.

The expiration date on the packaging was April 2014. However, I have already installed the cartridge in my HP-3845 printer and it works fine.
