As bizarre as it sounds, Ink can “expire” and it dries up. It all depends on the temperature, whether it is stored in cold or hot conditions. We never think to check to see if our pasta noodles have expired because we know that it usually lasts long, but regardless of how long it lasts, the quality of the pasta is not so great over some time. Like pasta noodles, Inks and Toners can last up to a very long time. They carry preservatives that make the shelf life last much longer. You can expect Toners to last longer than Ink, as with Toners the electro-magnetic process in laser printers is more precise.

Ink Cartridges dry up slow. Therefore, it is best to print out your documents when you know the Ink is still wet. For any reason you may find that the quality of your prints are going bad, it is because the wet ink is drying up and you have parts that are wet and you have parts that are dry. If it is too dry than, the print job will not go through.

Your cartridges should be stored in good conditions. If they are, then they should still be able to work after the “expiration date” has passed. The best way to take care of your printer cartridges is to have your cartridges stored upright so that the sponge stays moist and in a sealed airtight container. As obvious as it may sound, keep your cartridges away from sunlight! Your cartridges have many very harmful chemicals and you don’t want to risk dealing with any possible hazards from this. So if you’re storing them somewhere, it should be stored in a dark space like a cabinet or drawer.
