Do Generic Remanufactured Ink Cartridges Replacement for 125 have an active chip with expiration date; therefore, what is the shelf life.

I used the black 125 with some success. Upon trying the color carriages , the printer Epson Nx420 refused all my attempts to print anything. I may have damaged the printer. My solution: It is less expensive to junk the printer than to repair it. I will purchase a new printer and chalk up my loss to experience.

Can't fine the info on the cartridges - however, do be aware - i've been having lots of issues with the color inks - they are NOT working. I need to revise my previous comments.

The expiration date is different on every single ink cartridge package. It depends on when it was manufacturered.

Not true! I buy non-oem cartridges and refill them too. They print just fine. I have been doing this for 20 years. LC61 and LC51 don't have a chip. Some printers use chips in their cartridges in which case you buy a chip re-setter.

I'm still laughing about the answer from "Mike2so Silicon Valley Native". I don't think I'd want the ink cartridges after they are "all raped up"! I've kept them for up to a year (all wrapped up) without a problem.

It came in a Lexmark Box, the cartridge inside was in a Lexmark Bag that was sealed. I had to cut the inside foil bag to get it out. The cartridge says Lexmark. It's been working fine for several month now without any issues. I don't see anything to indicate this is a "remanufactured" or "refilled" cartridge. It looks an performs like an original to me.

not sure but one possibility is that the ink will no longer be good if it isn't used by the date printed on the package. I have always used up the ink well befoer the date on the package so have never had that problem. I would certainly not buy a package that has an expiration date that is not at least six or more months out from the date of purchase.

I never look at that. Besides, a cartridge can last a long time in a printer anyway. Its a genuine HP cartridge and works great.

In my case, the expiration date was over a year ago. Since I don't use color much, I usually change the color cartridge every few years, so I imagine I will be changing this one much sooner, since some of its useful life was spent before I received it. I think if you get Amazon-fulfilled ink you are more likely to get fresh ink. Amazon was out of stock when I got mine from another vendor (on Amazon).

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.

I haven't had to change a cartridge yet. I have used generics with other printers and they seem to do okay.

I don't specifically know, however, I used the original cartridges for several months with no issues. The replacement (OEM) cartridges had "use by dates" on the packaging. I don't remember the specific dates but it seemed like it was way longer than I anticipated. I am on my second Brother printer and have never experienced an "expiration date" message. (I killed my 1st Brother printer by letting it sit idle for too long - so try to print a page now and then!)

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.

Sorry, but I did not check for the expiry dates. What I can tell you is that these cartridges worked but they did not print a quarter of the number of pages a regular hp ink normally prints. I was very disappointed.

My last order from Feb 19th came with an expiration date of 9/15. I've been using these for the past few years now (since the newer printers started requiring cartridges with chips) and have had no problems whatsoever. Good luck!

The ones I received when I ordered were new in the package and the expiration date wasn't expired. I bought them for my daughter, a teacher, as she uses a lot of ink. The price from Amazon was a good buy.

I have the same printer and have purchased remanufactured cartridges. I did get the empty cartridge message, but my printer gives the override message and gives me the steps in order for the ink to work. Followed those steps ink worked fine but didn't last long, but I believe it was worth it.

on the bottom of the box there is an expiration or best before date. frequency of use will help determine whether you will be using completely the new cartridge. i always buy the double black, for instance, and when i put in the second one, i buy a new box. i have never had a problem.
