Do ink cartridges expire?

Hi, I bought out a computer tech's inventory. He was closing up shop. I obtained a good sized box of new printer cartridges. I would like to sell them but have noticed that some of them have expired dates on them. The oldest date is the end of 2007. Most are the end of 2008. Some have no date on them. I don't want to sell them if they are no good but hate to toss them if they are good. I would appreciate any feed back. Thanks.

 

If they are inkjet then yes pretty quickly in my experience, if they are laser then still yes. However, in my experience they can be a hit or miss. I have used expired LJ carts no hassle, and expired LJ carts that are just dry. Injets, are far more tricky in my experience. Esp. with IJ's, it matters how they have been stored.

If this is an ebay sale, then why not list as expired, and sold as seen, and no hassle if they dont work. Price will reflect demand.

 

Thanks. I'll try that.
