Does the cartridge burn off easily?

It will if you are breaking all the time. The replacement looks a little thicker that the original.

They seem to last my grandchildren awhile! Depends of course how often they ride...

Kids love the spark scooter and the cartridges work easily. They have gone through many cartridges but can't get replacement cartridges in the local stores. Must order on line and take chance on getting ones in store-bought condition.

The cartridge itself is just a solid plastic shell. It feels pretty well made to me. Unless you were unfortunate to break it somehow (dropping from a high spot on a very hard surface), I think you could reasonably assume a cartridge could last you 5+ years. We are still using our original two (one that came with the Air-O-Swiss and another purchased on Amazon) 3+ years later and both seem to be holding up just fine. I clean our Air-O-Swiss whenever the clean indicator light comes on so I have had no issues with these becoming grimy. I hope this is helpful; sorry I don't have a more firm answer.

I would think so. I just had a message last night to change one of the cartridges and it stopped in the middle of a job and didn't start printing until I had replaced that cartridge. BTW, gotta say this has become my favorite printer.

I suppose if I don't use it often it would dry out. I actually don't fax very often so I will find out when I try it again. The cartridge that isn't open yet is probably fine till I open it.

I have my first cartridge in and on 3rd ream of 500 sheets. You do have to manually set the density to 5 to have it print darker. It's well worth the money.

If you're referring to the little round piece of plastic over where the ink is dispensed, no. I had to use a fair amount of force when I inserted the cartridge to get the printer to pierce that plastic. I had the same question. I ended up not needing to remove it.

Wish I had an answer for you, but I have yet to replace the cartridge. Really like this pen on my keychain, though, a convenience any number of times.

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.

Sorry, I just bought this a few weeks ago, the printer is about 4 years old now. I have been printing daily with this cartridge and wanted to not have to deal with replacing it for a long time.

No, not at all. It goes in the same way as a PG-210 cartridge. Hope this is helpful.

I have had mine over a year no problems until I let the cartridge run a little to long without changing. It does use cartridges quite fast. I know have spots and I am wondering how to ta

I didn't have a problem. Just make sure to remove the orange tag on the back of the cartridge. Good luck.

No fires for me. But they did get extremely hot and that was a concern for me as well. When I unplugged them to change cartridge it was very hot!! Unsettling.

I haven't had that problem. On one occasion had a cartridge where the "black" wasn't as dark as I would have wanted. I had another occasion where a cartridge arrived broken and used. The seller sent out new ones expedited shipping. Have had no problems with that purchase.

I have used many of the cartridges and although it may as me to reinstall one; once in awhile, I simply do and it is fine after that. I have not had any other issues. I feel that this was a great buy and that the prints it produces are crisp and true to color. Will buy from them again.

I have only used the black cartridge to date. I am not qualified to rate the others

Hi... I leave mine in all the time and they last really well. I used it, let it cool off and then don't use it for quite awhile. When I go to use it again, it just works as normal. I have not had any solidify. Is your unit undergoing temperature changes? That may cause the little cartridge to solidify but I have never experienced this.
