When do these ink cartridges expire?
586249
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.

This question should be answered by the seller since that is where we would be buying the ink from.

The sets I have have dates around January 2015. I ordered them back in 2013.

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

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.

Good Question! I just checked the box I received a couple days ago and could not find an expiration date. Sorry. I do a lot of work on old photos, so I go through ink fairly quickly.

Each box of ink has its own expiration date. You should contact your seller for that information. I also recommend that you always buy ink that is in the original manufacturer's packaging.

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.

The ones I bought about 4 months ago have an expiration for January 07, 2015 (010715). It is located at bottom stamped in small black ink.

I finished them quite a while ago - they usually print an expiration date on the box, which I already threw away. Sorry I can't be of assistance.

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.

My last order from Feb 19th came with an expiration date of 9/15. I've been using these for the past few years now (since the newer printers started requiring cartridges with chips) and have had no problems whatsoever. Good luck!

I have since used this cartridge and many others with no problems, honestly I didn't look for an expiration date I might in the future,I don't know why ! Maybe you do ?

I don't have a real specific answer, except--there are expiration dates on them. And I've used them after the date and the prints have been fine. I've also had cartridges in my printer for a year and a half--and while they've needed more head cleaning--the prints have been great. Obviously, the best thing is to buy as you need them.

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.

As far as I can tell, I got these 25 May 2013. I posted my review 27 June 2013, and if memory serves, I installed two of the color cartridges not long before that, so at the time of installation I had probably had them about a month. I have no complaints. I would assume since they sell quite a few in a package, they don't expect them to dry up very quickly, and I believe I saw that they come with a 1-year guarantee. Hope this helps.

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.

Well the only problem I have had with the cartridges when I load them in the printer says there expired. But the massage goes away and they work fine . And the printer doesn't say they are out of ink until they are fully empty.
