Looking at the ink bottle, and you can barely read it, it says "Best Before 5/2027."
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hello - I just bought my printer in 9-2022 and the ink bottles have a 'Best Before' date of 3-2025. However, there is no electronic chip/device to inform the printer of any kind of date, so I'm not sure if it matters.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hello. For optimal performance, it is recommended that the ink be used 6 months after opening the bottle. However, the ink will continue to perform as designed until fully consumed. It is further recommended that the ink be stored in its original packaging in a cool, dark place. Also, open the bottle immediately before use and replace the cap immediately after pouring the ink into the ink tank. Regards, Kevin - The Epson Team.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Everything expires...everything. The ink in the ET-8500, of course...when??? I don't know...whenever it does, it does. My unit is so new, I haven't a clue as to when. I suspect it will be 'used up' prior to it expiring and using it up has to do with how many printings you do. I suggest moving forward with a purchase and go for it; it is a good printer. I've had other Epson printers and they are quite good; I am replacing one with the cartridges that ran out of ink too frequently.
