what is the expiration on the HP 74 XL cartridge? thank you
1860579
I purchased the HP 74 XL cartridge. The expiration date on the back is 3/6/2016. It will be empty long before this date is reached. It is well worth spending the extra money for the 74 XL versus the 74. You get about 2 to 3 times as much ink in the XL

All cartridges have a oem date, but if sealed in original packaging, the cartridges can last several years. I have some from 2011 and they work fine. I have new ones also and all work the same.

I'd like to buy the same. Waiting for the seller answer. Are these expired HP ink cartridges??

I've changed printers so I don't use that cartridge any more. I had one problem with a vendor that sold me two already expired cartridges, but he credited me. I haven't had any problems with other vendors. That particular vendor has excellent ratings, so I would trust him/her. The great thing is that if you're not happy with a purchase, Amazon.com will make it right!

I think the expiration date is on the packaging. It is not on the cartridge itself

This is in addition to my previous comment. In my experience, the cartridge does not work if it is past 6 months of the expiration date.

This date is when the printer will no longer print with this printhead. I once had one sitting on my shelf. It was still in the original HP package but it was past the expiration date. Even though it was fresh out of the package and in good shape, the printer refused to use it! This is why I will never buy an HP printer again!

I used my last few cartridges and I don't recall seeing an expiration date on them. I'm sorry I couldn't help your more.

Since these are brand new, that question cannot be answered -- all depends on the lot that they take it from. New cartridges generally run 1-2 years prior to expiration. Mine (from Amazon) was 2 years out - 2017.

I no longer have the package, so I am not certain. I ordered it in October 2012 and the date on the package may have been May of 2012. The cartridge is not yet empty and is still working fine. In the past, I have pulled old printers out of storage at the office and the cartridges still worked even when a few years old. I expect the seller is already selling newer inventory so your purchase would have a newer expiration date. I hope this helps.

The last HP21 (original package) I purchased from Amazon.com had an expiration date of Dec. 2016. ron

I don't know. The cartridge itself had HP OEM markings. The packaging was non OEM

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.

I have never thought to see if there is an expiration date. I've had my supply of color and black cartridges for many months before I have to use them. Your question made me check out my supply and I noticed on the Black 564XL package which is separate from the Color cartridges, there is stamped on the package the country of origin is Malaysia with a date of APR 2015. I'm guessing that is a use-by date. Can't find any indication of a date on the 3-Color package. I keep all cartridges sealed in their original packages until ready to use. I hope this helps somewhat. Maybe HP.com has more information on their ink cartridges.

Sorry, I just bought this a few weeks ago, the printer is about 4 years old now. I have been printing daily with this cartridge and wanted to not have to deal with replacing it for a long time.

The ones I bought expire 9/14, like others answered I have never found a problem with using any HP brand products and never pay attention to the expiration date.

They usually work past the expiration date, but HP doesn't guarantee them. I suggest you write to the seller thru Amazon & ask for replacement.

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.
