what is the expiration for cartridge

"already expired", but.....I have the HP1100d running on Windows 8 and am using the HP1000 driver without the fancy HP programs like ink level and so on. that being said, the expiration date means nothing to me.

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.

I don't think you can tell what the expiration date is by looking at the cartridge. However, when I print a CONFIG page it will give me the expiration date for each ink cartridge and each printhead (my printer has 4 of each). My black ink expired 2014-12-24. It's still printing but at reduced quality. Since the cartridge still has a 70% ink level I didn't want to discard it; so I changed the default print output from 'Fast Normal' to 'Normal.' This uses a bit more ink but it prints beautifully! Hope this helps!

From my experience. There is no way of knowing what the expiration date is for the cartridges being shipped. You will not know what the expiration date is until you actually receive the cartridge. The date is on the package when you receive it.

None is listed on the outside of the package. I would guess that as long as the foil outer package isn't broken or opened in anyway the cartridge would remain good. Once it is open, of course, the "drying out" process will begin. I haven't had to use mine yet, just bought them to have on hand as they are no longer in stores.

The date on the outside of the cartridge is NOT the expiration date. That is the warranty date. Please do your research people.

I have never had a problem with the cartridge not working because it had expired. I think it is a way to make more money on the ink.

There's no expiration date on the package that I can see. The cartridges worked fine though. They were not dried out in any way and appeared to be within their shelf life.

Had thrown away the packaging, but I checked one of the cartridges. It's April 2016. Hope this helps.

I hope you kept your packaging. This happened to me and I learned the hard way that if the cartridge is beyond the expiration date, it will not work! The expiration date is on the outside of the original box. So it is critical you check the date before you open the box and install a cartridge that will not work!

I've had mine over a year... no problems. Each cartridge is packed in a sealed plastic "bag" that it seems to me would greatly increase shelf life and prevent drying out... but they are also not "open" until you insert them into the machine so I suspect the shelf life is fairly long.

there is ink in the print head. the expiration date is for the ink in the head. The older the head the less prints it will be good for.

I used my last few cartridges and I don't recall seeing an expiration date on them. I'm sorry I couldn't help your more.

I've never seen a date on the cartridge. I would assume it is the date of your order. The box refers to: http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/contine/pubs/buspubs/warranty.htm I hope that helps

It does not have an expiration date. The cartridges are good for as long as they remain sealed and unopened. The ink works fine in the printer after opening the package and removing the seal.

It depends on the laser cartridge. They make some to last as little as 2,500 and as much as 50,000+.

I do not have it. Sorry. Usually the expiration is once the seal on the cartridge has been broken. Additionally if it sits unused (as in weeks to months) it will dry before the expiration date.

There is no expiration date because the cartridges are vacuum sealed and aren't exposed to the atmosphere until you unseal the package.

Usually, there is an expiration date on the box, e.g. I just bought a package of 4 ink cartridges (1 black XL, 1 each Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow) to hold for when I need them, and on the box is an expiration date of "Nov. 2015." That gives me approximately 19 months. But you can be sure I'll use them well before that date.

Sorry I am not able to say as the cartridge is used by my kids ad much as myself. I can say only that it has held up well and the price was good.

Each package I have ever purchased has it's unique expiration date. I have used some cartridges long after the expiration date and found the quality very good.

No sorry no expiration date was on package or cartridge. Item arrived in a generic type box with generic brand name on it... but it was packed the exact way HP packs the official product. It has worked exceptionally well up to now... as of now no regrets.
