p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Canon IPF owners... question about expired ink


I'm wondering if anyone has used expired genuine inks in their large format Canon printer. Are there downsides?

Can't say about Canon but we use expired Epson ink all the time. I think one of my black 3880 carts expired back in 2011 or so. Make sure to agitate (rock it back and forth gently) the carts to keep the particles from settling.

I've used expired HP inks without issue. I regularly agitate the cartridges to ensure pigments don't settle.

I haven't experienced any problems using what some may call "expired" inks.

Yes you should have no ISSUES, as long it's been in cool temps not hot, and you mix it up before, if you have a IPF6300/6400 it will automatically mix it in the cartridge.

Check your manual or do a Google search.

I purchase expired ink all the time!

Good luck
Christopher
