DO NOT buy more than one replacement ink cartridge at a time. I purchased two high capacity HP 952XL black cartridges on sale several years ago and my HP Officejet Pro 8710 will not recognize them because they are past HP's "expiration date". I now have two full perfectly good ink cartridges that I paid over $100 for that are going in the trash and I need to purchase a new cartridge. I'm done with HP. Probably go back to an Epson with the ink refill system.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.They'll last at least a year. Be sure to check the expiration date on the package. The printers won't accept a cartridge if it's too far beyond the expiration date.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Do not buy extra cartridges unless you can guarantee that you will need them at a certain time.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I purchased a bunch of HP printer cartridges for my old printer that I use only for work and they are years old. They still work for me and they are still making great copies. They were very cheap, so cheap that I couldn't pass the buy up, and I do not know how old they were at that time.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I buy mine in bulk -- and when I got the new HP All-in-one, I had a bunch of extras. But what I did with them probably wouldn't work for you: I just packed them up and when I passed on my old HP Printer (which was not really OLD at all), I passed on the inks as well --- to the Catholic school in my parish. They can always use them. While that Printer was working, I bought cartridges so that I had a back-up supply of three sets each of colors and b/w -- and they lasted me until I used them up, over a year, I think, though I'm not sure about that. They're well packaged and the HP system sees to it that no ink is wasted in putting them into the printer (or taking them out). I also use the recycling option for used cartridges -- very helpful.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.An unopened box has an expiration date printed on the box. The ink is guaranteed to work until that date. I hope this helps.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Ink will keep a long time. My policy is "a pair and a spare pair." The ink has to hold up for this to work.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The ink will probably last you about 2-3 months if not more. It's amazing!
