What is the shelf life of the ink cartridges?

Asked 2 years ago
The shelf life of ink cartridges can vary depending on a number of factors, including the type of ink and how the cartridges are stored. Generally, most ink cartridges have a shelf life of about two to three years when stored properly in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. It is important to check for any expiration dates or guidelines provided by the manufacturer, which can often be found on the cartridge packaging or on the website. Additionally, once the cartridge is opened, it may have a shorter usability period, as exposure to air can dry out the ink. For more accurate and specific information regarding shelf life, one might consider reviewing the details provided by the manufacturer on the current web page, as they may offer guidance that can help maximize the lifespan of the cartridges.
