Do these dry up if not used fairly fast?

Victoria, I have had them two weeks and they are working fine. The unused ones have a good seal on the ink discharge point and each cartridge is sealed in a air tight plastic wrapper. I don't anticipate them drying out.

Victoria, do not buy these. When you install them no ink comes out at first. I had to have the printer do its automated clean thing ~20 times to get it to print normally (using 1/4" of the ink by the way). Additionally the black works intermittently (sometime to black ink at all). I am not sure what is wrong with this or if it is just not very compatible.

As far as I can tell, I got these 25 May 2013. I posted my review 27 June 2013, and if memory serves, I installed two of the color cartridges not long before that, so at the time of installation I had probably had them about a month. I have no complaints. I would assume since they sell quite a few in a package, they don't expect them to dry up very quickly, and I believe I saw that they come with a 1-year guarantee. Hope this helps.

If they are not unsealed they will last probably forever but after they are in the printer I am sure they tend to dry out as any liquid does when exposed to the air. So far my ink has lasted an average length of time and I am in the dry air of Tucson, AZ. Probably depends on your location to determine the speed of drying time.

Mine kind of do sort of like if i'm filling something in and there's a lot of fill in it kind of wears out until I give it a rest an just continue later. But I haven't had any of them dry out completely..

They dry fairly quick depending on how long the child presses them down for(longer=more liquid that gets dispensed). It's definitely quicker and less messy than paint. I make sure to roll up sleeves to prevent from smearing on clothing since there might be wet spots for a bit. I bought these when my child was 2 and he did fine with a little help. He's now 3 and still loves them.

I wouldn't put them in the dryer because they are really soft and they could shrink or get damaged.Moreover, they dry pretty fast by their own.

Yes. I leave them out with the lid off for a bit after running them through the dishwasher. But they do dry completely. Also remember to take the metal parts off before washing.

Yes! I don't dry them but hang them on hangers! If I need them to dry sooner I put them on air dry and that goes faster

I've never left mine dry for more then three days and they are fine. Usually we have to refill it everyday so it's only a issue when you leave your house for multiple days.

Hi :) I've been using these along with Charlie Banana for 10 months. I tumble dry them on low. I've had zero problems with leaks or blowouts. I use a timed setting.... Low for 120 minutes.

you uses these like a watercolor pencil, so if u want them to dry quicker in the sense you are using it like a watercolor then yes. Do not use it on the pencil itself u will melt it.

Yes they are dry. Perfect for traveling. I even cut them in half. Much cheaper at Walmart.

They might dry out if you do not keep them moist. If you keep them moist they should keep indefinitely. Try keeping them moist and cool, that should help keep them fresh. @ years? I doubt it. But a year? absolutely.

We have been macine-drying these (on low) for 5 months and have not seen any quality loss. We only put them outside to remove stains. They dry fast, as long as the dryer isn't too full!

YES! As far as drying though, I either air dry or dry on LOW heat, with a clean, dry towel or two included with the wet toys. They look like new.

Well, I would try them and see. Have they been in a humid or hot place? If not probably ok. After all they are dried.

Yes, they dry within minutes. I know what you mean, though... I have wider neck "Love Bottles" that don't dry, even after hours. I have no idea what the difference is, but these bottles dry quickly and look beautiful!

In my opinion, yes. I've never had wipes go dry in this box, but then again, I do use it every day and refill it about twice a week. If the wipes did start to dry, it would be very easy to spray in some boiled-cooled water (to help stop mold) to keep wipes moist between uses.
