What is the shelf life or expiration date for this ink?

I'd like to help but I bought the package for a 3rd party and shipped it to them in Africa. Sorry.

I don't remember seeing such date. It was shipped to me on 6-22-13; With or without the expiration date, the cartridge should've yielded many more pages of printing.

Hi Adriana,I work for a company that resells Epson ink. Our supplier did not have the ink available, so I ordered it for our customer from Amazon. The ink arrived quickly, the ink cartridge was new and not expired. We were very pleased and would order from them again in a pinch.

Are you looking for Amazon's stock of ink and wondering when the expiration date is of what they've got? I have a 2 pack I recently got and the expiration date is located on the back side upper left under "brother" and mine expires 2015.10.

I normally use them before they expire. But I can say that printer will not know the ink levels with these cartridges.

Hi Chumley, Canon made this statement on a blog I found regarding my mx860 printer - "Our ink tanks do not have expiration dates or expire as ink tanks from other manufacturers may do. The information you have mentioned is a 'lot' number that is used to track where the tank was made. 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." You may want to call Canon yourself because I never had a problem with any of my ink cartridges reading an expiration date.

No expiration date shone. However the INK worked perfectly fine. I purchased a few�

The package for these units are well sealed. They are marked that they should be used within 6 months after the package is opened.There is no indication that this life span in in anyway connected with the Computer chip. i suspect that the warning may have more to dowith the action of air on the ink. I have had no problem with age of these units and I have exceeded the 6 month time on my installed itemsSo far I have had no problem with the Brother inks not working because of age.

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! :-(

There's no expiration date on the package that I can see. The cartridges worked fine though. They were not dried out in any way and appeared to be within their shelf life.

My package has no expiration date but I went away for more than a year and the cartridges were still good. Refrigerating would extend that eve more. You could call Epson if you really want to know.

The date-stamp on these inkjet cartridges is a warranty expiration date. There is no product expiration date on the package

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

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

The expiration date on the ones I bought a few months ago is 2015, but if you do a lot of printing you will probably use them up long before they expire.

The expiration date is stamped on the outside of the cartridge. Also some cartridges have a date coded chip inside and if it expired, it wil not allow the printer to print, until you put a new un-expired ink cartridge in.

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.
