Digital printing ink is important for printer?

Ensuring your ink and toner are in good condition is essential to keeping your printer healthy. Whether it's liquid ink for your inkjet printer or a powdered toner for your laser printer, understanding the expiration date and storing your cartridges properly is important. This is true for both busy offices with high print demands and sporadic home use.

Why printer ink expiration is important? 
Understanding the printer ink expiration date will ensure your printer continues to produce high-quality prints. Over time the composition of the ink will change, the speed of which can be affected by storage conditions and printer use. Expired ink, particularly for inkjet printers, can cause damage to your printer as well as affecting the quality of the print.
For busy offices and business printing, understanding ink expiration is important when ordering in advance. High print demands might require bulk buying, and understanding how long cartridges can be stored for will dictate purchase frequency. Equally, those printing at home or infrequently will also need to be careful about storing and caring for their ink. If a printer goes unused for extended periods of time, the ink may dry out and expire. 

When does your ink expire?
As a rule, digital printer ink and toner will keep for a year and a half to two years, although this can also depend on storage conditions. Manufacturers will list a sell by date on all cartridges as a guideline. Ink and toner may be fine to use after this date, but try to keep to this date if possible. You’ll also find a warranty date for most manufacturers. This shouldn’t be confused with the sell by date; the warranty date simply tells you the last date the manufacturer will guarantee their ink.
Many manufacturers also provide built-in expiration for the ink or toner. This built-in expiration date is encoded into the cartridge chip and allows the printer to read the expiration date. Your printer will shut down or reject the cartridge after the built-in date, preventing any potential damage from the expired ink. You should also look out for signs that your printer is having problems initializing the ink if you know you are using an old ink cartridge. While most printers allow you to override the built-in expiration date, we don’t recommend doing so unless you can be sure the ink or toner is okay.
