what is the expiration date on this HP 940XL cyan cartridge?
368687
Hello,Thanks for the question. I can't say for 100% certainty since it only comes in the sealed mylar foil. It no longer has the outer cardboard box but in reading the code it looks like 2015. I stand behind my products 100% so if for any reason it does not work up to your standards, I can either refund or replace with another cartridge.Thank you,Troy

If there is a date, it'll be stamped somewhere on the box. If there isn't one then contact the seller or HP with your question. I'm not sure all of the boxes have dates. Also remember those dates don't necessarily mean the cartridge won't work. I've used some that were expired and they worked fine.

If you have the package the date will be on any one of the cartridges if you do not have a cartridge in a pack there's no way to find out the expiration date what I do is I use them even after the expiration date and they appear to work just fine good luck

there was no expiration date on ink, if it was I don't go by exp. dates. The cartridge worked for me just fine, I am about to reorder more now.

As far as I know the cartridge is not rechargeable so you do need to buy a new one when it's expired.

I have never thought to see if there is an expiration date. I've had my supply of color and black cartridges for many months before I have to use them. Your question made me check out my supply and I noticed on the Black 564XL package which is separate from the Color cartridges, there is stamped on the package the country of origin is Malaysia with a date of APR 2015. I'm guessing that is a use-by date. Can't find any indication of a date on the 3-Color package. I keep all cartridges sealed in their original packages until ready to use. I hope this helps somewhat. Maybe HP.com has more information on their ink cartridges.

It might depend on the seller. The one I purchased did not come in the hp box and the color cartridge did not work. I believe the black ink was expired, as well, and I have asked for a refund.

The date-stamp on these inkjet cartridges is a warranty expiration date. There is no product expiration date on the package

See the following link pertinent to HP products: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01764161&cc;=us&dlc;=en&lc;=enShort answer would be some expire and are unusable, but some can be ignored. This table will help you determine which cartridges are in which category.

It must be who you purchased the ink from. All of my cartridges have a date of 2015.

I found out here:http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc;=en&dlc;=en&docname;=c01764161That the date stamped on the cartridge is the warrentee ends date- not the expiration for the ink. The date for the pack I just got is 12/2014. That is the install by date - with some confusion on the HP support forum.

I no longer have the package, so I am not certain. I ordered it in October 2012 and the date on the package may have been May of 2012. The cartridge is not yet empty and is still working fine. In the past, I have pulled old printers out of storage at the office and the cartridges still worked even when a few years old. I expect the seller is already selling newer inventory so your purchase would have a newer expiration date. I hope this helps.

Regardless of any expiration date, I had my HP5610 all-in-one sitting in the basement with two partially used cartridges (a 56 and a 22) in it for over 4 years. When I pulled it out to start using it again, I figured I'd have to replace the cartridges. Much to my surprise, everything worked flawlessly.

Yes it is in original hp package. . I can't remember the expiration date. But I didn't have any problems with it.

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

I don't know the age of the cartridge. The one I ordered is still working in my printer now (and it's not low yet). Mine came as shown, original HP product and packaging. I have never had problems with buying the orginal HP cartridges (only with remanufactured ones by other suppliers).

The last HP21 (original package) I purchased from Amazon.com had an expiration date of Dec. 2016.ron

dont know if there was an expiration date on pkg. However, it depends on how much printing you doon how long cartridge lasts. Mine last 5 or 6 months.
