I purchased an Epson 9800 in very good shape. It came with a nearly complete set of Ultrachrome K3 inks with a "Use By Date" of almost 1 year ago. The inks have been stored at room temperature. The financial saving if I can use this ink is obvious. If this ink will hurt the printer, then I will end up spending much much more.
What are your opinions about using this ink?
Does anyone have any actual experience using ink that is a year out of date?
How conservative are the Epson "use by" dates? They are, after all, in the business of selling ink.
thanks
