What is the "Best if Used By Date" on the Cartridge?

Ink may puddle if it stays in same position too long, meaning it may clog exit port and not come out or may come out unevenly, ruining the document. It usually is good long after the best buy date,but the compamy takes no responsibility after the date posted.

It is similar to other dated items. It means it is best if used by that date. It does not mean it is obsolete or will not function after that date. I have used cartriges after those dates that worked just fine. Some printers will notify you if you are putting a cartrige in after its best if used by date just as if you use a non OEM cartrige. But they have worked fine for me in both cases.

I don't see any mention of an expiration date on the instructions that came with the cartridge. Maybe try the Brother web site?

Giselle, I believed, Amazon, or the supplier sent me a label to return the old cartridge back to them. FYI. great buy, it works very good and last enough!!!

My purchased cartridges all expire in 2014 - they range from July to October of that year. Each cartridge box is individually stamped with the warranty date.

There are no dates on the cartridges. I'm assuming that all electronic parts are new. I haven't had any issues with this product. Hope this helps.

no date on cartridges. but once opened and not used until all the color is gone the cartridges will dry out. so be sure to purchase extra cartridges, other than that one issue I really love the printer.

The expiration dates printed on the bottom of the carton indicate the latest date Epson can guarantee good performance of the ink. Additionally I understand the ink should be used within six months after opening the cartridge. I've gone past both dates with limited success - generally means I have to clean the print heads a little more often.

The "install by" date is basically the deadline date for returning a faulty cartridge. My company has three printers that use these and we have used some after the date printed on the box with no problems. If a problem would have occurred with the expiredd (according to the date on the box) cartridge, my company would have been liable and not HP or the vendor where the cartridge was purchased.

Is this question suppose to be address to the seller? Why there's no answer yet? For me the stamp date on the back/side (not on the cartridge). For me it does not meant warranty date because you can not link the cartridge to the box after you have opened it unless, maybe you still have the receipt. I believed it meant "use by date". Freshness goes down beyond that date. Some ingredient on the ink may start to deteriorate or drying up beyond (guessing) six months.

I don't know what you mean by "expired". The cartridges are still available and I purchase them regularly. Have you had the cartridges for a long period of time and kept them away from heat and stored them in a cool place. . If you keep the cartridges over a period of time it is possible that they may have dried-up. Is it just one cartridge or all that are not working? I personally have never had a problem with the cartridges. Hope this helps you out.

This is in addition to my previous comment. In my experience, the cartridge does not work if it is past 6 months of the expiration date.

on the cartridge it says 2007/03/09 and this cartridge has something wrong with it. It keeps giving me a message to remove it and put it back in and if this don't work replace the cartridge. it is not working.

I am afraid that only Amazon can answer that question. I have purchased cartridges form Amazon for some time and the expiration dates are typically months away. However, once last year I purchased a cartridge that was already expired, so do check, and if it is expired, return it.

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.

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.

My cartridge was dated 8-2015, you would have to contact the seller direct to see what the date is on any other cartridge.

Some "New" cartridges aren't really "New". May have been in the shelve too long even if the expiration date is still good. I open ink cartridges everyday and I see a lot of such. Try another color cartridge
