I've read about some old inks developing problems, but never
experienced it until today. Sometimes, with old color inks, I pour it
thru a coffee filter before using -- to filter out any organic
growth. Today, I went to refill an old HP 500 AIO with ink I've
probably had for more than ten years, stored it in the attic, subject
to New England's hot and cool spells. The dyebased black ink turned
brown, and developed a vinegar-like smell. Down the drain it goes.
I buy ink in smaller batches,and usually use it up within a year --
so I probably won't see this kind of thing again.
Best,
