“Based on the great reviews, I'm about to buy this model. My question is will the ink supply and/or the ink in the machine ever go bad - like an expiration date? I don't print a lot, so it will take me a long time to print the number of pages they state.”

According what I was told it comes with a 2 year supply of ink and you do not have to fill it up completely, If it dries in the computer use a q-tip with alcohol to clean it out. After 2 years the entire supply will dry up. Replacement for a 2 year supply is $51 at this time, I hope the 2 year statement is true because I don't print nearly as much as I did at one time.
