how long does ink last? Is it refillable?

Yes, it is refillable. Same as any ink stamper. You can buy the ink in any office store in a small bottle. One bottle should last a few life times.

Yes, I guess it is. I just found that out by reading another answer. The good thing about this stamp is that the address prints evenly. Every stamp I've had in the past had some fading part of the address. This stamp inks the entire address evenly.

It's not refillable. Samsung is actively going against refillers and that's why you don't see any offerings at this time.This is now their (Samsung's) business model - sell an inexpensive printer and make bank with the refills. Same as ink printer manufacturers have done for decades. I would not be surprised either if the cartridge was microchipped and refuse to work after a high number of prints...As I noted in my review though, this may work in your favor - if you print sparsely, you get a cheap machine that'll last years without refills (and doesn't clog up like ink printers).

This printer does not use liquid ink, but rather a solid coating on a plastic film carrier. There's nothing to dry out, so your supplies should be good for quite a long time.

it comes with a refillable reservoir. I have never used the cartridges so mine are still filled. The refillable well works just fine for me. I have been using this pen daily for a few months. Nice pen. I was surprised how light this pen is.

The ink cartridges cannot be refilled. As for the aftermarket ink cartridges, I can't say. We printed maybe five pages a month, and every time I went near this thing, I was replacing at least one ink cartridge @ about $15. We no longer print with it; use it as a scanner only. After my experience with this thing, I will never buy another Epson product. The irony here is this was a Consumer Reports Best Buy... They sure blew that one.Tom

Tell you truth I don't know the what the best refill kit are. I bought and used http://www.amazon.com/refill-refillable-cartridges-using-Epson/dp/B002RWAKMM/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top#productDetails. So far I used that ink to refill the cartridges 3-4 times so far and have about half the bottles still full. It can be a bit messy refilling ink cartridges if your not careful. So depending on your time/cost and how much you print, buying a new one might better choice if it cost $3-5 bucks.

Yes. Mine lasted for quite a while. I got several months of printing a couple pages once a week.

That would depend on how much you print. Ink cartridges have a shelf life of a year or more depending on how you care for them. If it is exposed to high heat, sun, or cold conditions it won't last as long. I can tell you that I print a lot of color on a daily basis and my toner lasted a month and a half, and I was shocked. The other printers I have had in the past burned through ink, This Brother is amazing as it is ink efficient.

If you use it all the time, the cartridge lasts about a month. My son, whose pen it is, uses it only in emergencies for that reason.

I don't really think it has a shelf life like eggs or milk. I've been using a set of these for about 2 years for 2 of my small printers and have not noticed any changes in the quality. Just shake it up a bit and refill your empty cartridges. I get longer life from the cartridges by injecting 1 or 2 cc's of isopropyl alcohol ahead of the ink every other refill. It keeps the print head cleaner and free of dried buildup.

I have been using ink for over 2 years with no problems. I refill when copy starts fading. I have a HP officejet 5510.

My black ink lasted 4 months before I ran out. and I printed approximately 600 pages. My Brother model has a ink saver mode which I use unless I want a very bold print.

It depends on what you are printing. It is twice the ink as the standard cartridge, so it will last you twice as long. ;-)

You can refill the ones that come with the printer. The ones that ship in the box last about 500 pages, maybe less. But the refills should last about 2500 pages. I can't say if they do yet since I've not printed 2500 pages so far.

Not that I can say. It sounds like you may not use your printer in a daily basis. I have a client who has this printer and they use it a lot. I have one in my office and it might go maybe three days in between uses. I have not noticed any issues with the ink. One thing - in wise that I really like about this machine is the ink doesn't runon the page if the page gets wet where most ink jets do. This machine has great functions that ar very user friendly.

To the best of my understanding, expiration dates vary. I believe ink is created in batches. If you can, contact the seller.
