I wanted to share my experience with the fellow-PDMLers.
Previously, I've been purchasing cartridges for my R2880 printer from
atlex.com. While that experience had a couple of hiccups, all the
cartridges I received were very fresh, with the expiration date at least
1.5 years in the future.
Last week, I ordered a bunch of cartridges from B&H, seeing that the
combined order was comparable in price to that from atlex.com.
I am somewhat disappointed by the outcome: 4 of the cartridges expire in
06/2015, which is about 8 months from now. I consider that being a bit
too short.
I buy them so that I always have a spare on hand, as on more than one
occasion, I had a few situations (2 or 3 times) with a brand-new cartridge
that has failed either right away or after 1-2 prints.
While I don't have high turnaround with the cartridges, I expect them
to have at least 1 year shelf live when I am buying them.
I wonder what is the experience of other PDMLers with respect to the
expiration date of the cartridges that they buy.
