I received this box of ink cartridges on 5/4/13. The 'Best Before' date is C13T127520. How does this translate to English?

The actual date is not directly under the words "best before" but to the right of these words in the black box imprinted in white.

I received ink last year in May/June and didn't have to use it this spring of this year,same ink as you, and they were perfectly fine when I installed them about a month ago.

That alphanumeric string describes the product, and is not directly relavent to the expiration date

That's not the "Best Before" date (C13T127520) The actual date is printed in white on the black side to the right. C13T127520 is the product code. Look just to the right and you will see a date, made in U.S.A., with imported and U.S. parts printed in white on the black section. ;-)

Hi Adriana,I work for a company that resells Epson ink. Our supplier did not have the ink available, so I ordered it for our customer from Amazon. The ink arrived quickly, the ink cartridge was new and not expired. We were very pleased and would order from them again in a pinch.

I had the same question, here is what I found. I bought mine on 8/14/14 and the "Best Before" date was 11/11/15.

The box has a "best before" date of 12/16/2015 on what I ordered in 12/2014.

As with other responses, sorry but I threw the boxes away. No reason to keep then; my cartridges worked as expected. They still do. By the way, I learned my lesson: Buy cheap? That's what you'll get. Hope this helps you some.

From my experience. There is no way of knowing what the expiration date is for the cartridges being shipped. You will not know what the expiration date is until you actually receive the cartridge. The date is on the package when you receive it.

I would highly recommend putting all of the ink cartridges in your printer upon receipt of the order. One of my cartridges didn't work but it was passed 30 days before I figured that out. If you are able to put them in your printer and they don't work well at least you can send them back. It's not bad for the money but I should have loaded them all in at once. FYI one of the computer chips on the cartridge was bad.

The seller would have to provide this information. This is from my recent purchase. This review is from: HP 98 (C9514FN) Black Original Ink Cartridges, 2 pack (Office Product)Received today 1-14-2015, 2 day prime- Perfect - Important note - exp on pkg is Sep. 2016. ( exp date is on back right hand side, labeled Warranty ends: ) Exp date is important to me, as I have had some problems over the years with cartridges "drying out".

The expiration dates printed on the bottom of the carton indicate the latest date Epson can guarantee good performance of the ink. Additionally I understand the ink should be used within six months after opening the cartridge. I've gone past both dates with limited success - generally means I have to clean the print heads a little more often.

on the bottom of the box there is an expiration or best before date. frequency of use will help determine whether you will be using completely the new cartridge. i always buy the double black, for instance, and when i put in the second one, i buy a new box. i have never had a problem.

That would be the date that the manufacturer has put on the product, to specify the expected usage may not work as it should. So you may or may not have problems with the ink calibrating correctly or something in the usual function of the cartridge may not do as it should.

there was no expiration date on ink, if it was I don't go by exp. dates. The cartridge worked for me just fine, I am about to reorder more now.

There is not a use before date.The date on the package is a manufacture date.... most of which are quite old.... when purchasing on line and less expensive prices.These toner cartridges are usually good for ever? Unless they have been stored in excessive heat. Then they might become defective.Hopefully they will be the newer mfg dates such as the black box style is representative of.

I go through a box every month, so I can't say I noticed previous boxes. I usually check them out to make sure all is ok upon receipt. The box I received this month says best before Sept 4, 2015. Sorry, I'm not much help.

There are no dates on the cartridges. I'm assuming that all electronic parts are new. I haven't had any issues with this product. Hope this helps.

Do you mean "Where is the date"? Either way, here you go.WHAT is the expire date on the cartridges? This is very important because using cartridges after their expiration date really can cause printer problems. It happened to me. I believe its the ink that goes bad and when it does, the bad ink that is dispensed for your print jobs through the machine. Ultimately, the printer will break. IF YOU WANTED TO KNOW WHERE THE EXPIRATION DATE IS, when purchased it is listed on the back of the box in the lover right corner. It is also printed on the exposed edge of the cartridge when installed to your printer in teeeeeennnny-weeeeeeeennnnnny, itty-bitty print.

Sorry. Threw the box away. Don't see any dates on the individual cartridge wrapper.
