I have acquired an original OEM HP #57 ink cartridge for a bit more than
half-price because the "Install By" date is November 2008. The outer
package is unopened, so I assume the inner package is still sealed, too.
The package states that the "limited warranty expires six months after
the Install By date," so I figure HP was pretty sure it'll last at least
that long.
Yes, measekite, I know HP might not honor the warranty anyway. I don't
care about that. What I want to know is, on average, how long past the
expiration date should I expect the cart and ink to be reasonably good,
assuming I don't open the package. Small changes in the ink colors don't
concern me, considering the stuff I'm going to be printing. However, if
my yellow ink supply turned green, or the magenta became purple, that
would concern me. Also, if the head clogs while it's still sealed, that
would concern me, too.
