Does the ink have an expiration date? null

Question

Not unless you pull off the tab before inserting the ink ,but in a sealed box I have had some for 2 years and it worked fine . Also remember Epson is a great printer with Info reminders and auto troubleshooting . Like clean head, rollers , ink jets etc. So even if ink starts to dry out (we have had it happen because we don't print very much ) but a quick nozzle and head cleaning and good as brand new !!!!

Not sure if the ink has an expiration date. Shake the cartridges before loading in printer.

I don't think so but if you're going to use it later keep it in the fridge until ready to use it.

Jimmy · Answer

Every product has a shelf-life. But I've never seen a date on ink cartridges. Should last several years if kept in original hermetically sealed shrink wrap.

Yes ink has a expiration date .Everything has a expectation date even water expires .

BusyGranny · Answer

There is a Best By code on the bottom of the box but I always have the ink used up prior to any date. I don't purchase it until I have a notification from the printer that ink is needed in one of the tanks. The other colors become needed shortly thereafter.

The ink has a best buy date of Dec 2019.

caughtinamosh · Answer

The ink cartridge has a "best if used by" date, as most do. Old cartridges begin to gum up after sitting for too long.

Mark · Answer

They typically do have expiration dates. Usually about 1 year.

Manapuri · Answer

I think upto 1 year should be ok, but not advisable more than 1 year, if it exposed to too much light or heat for longer, the durability might reduce i guess, i had experience of keeping upto 6 months, no issues, it worked just fine

I do not think, but if you do not use the printer, the printheads get clogged (more common in epson printers)
