Smudger, I thought ink had a shelf life, am I wrong, maybe I've seen it on HP tanks?

Typically manufacturers give ink a shelf life of 2 years, in reality as long as the ink is not visually contaminated it can last a lot longer that that. Store ink away from bright light and in a cool environment. (IE not on a window ledge next to a heater/radiator). and it will often be fine past 2 years.

'ink had a shelf life'

Who knows? Some of the refiller-ists seem to be getting fungal infections in their old tubes, but boys, there are two types of fungal infections in your tubes, and you don't want the second one. :old

The Go Ink ones are sealed in a sort of food packaging, so I presume they will last a year, like biscuits. (see pic) I stockpiled while prices are low, given that both printers use the same cart.

Un-used new cartridges with the tape seal and outlet still in tact will last for many many years and I reckon the 3rd party ink suppliers are been very wise and cautious putting a two years life span on their inks, because the bottle gets opened immediately after purchase which then exposes it to what ever.:hu
