    Ink use by dates

    Hello,
    I have some sub ink which is out of date (but I haven't used it since it went OOD) - would using it cause problems? What actually happens when the ink is OOD? I hate the idea of wasting it if it doesn't really make a difference but I have no idea if time degrades it somehow - I assume it must if it has a date on it.
    Thanks!

    Heard horror stories of people using OOD inks and colours being well off and others convinced that it had clogged their heads, and then other people saying yea no problem.

    I spoke to a very knowledgeable fellow at Inktec UK, he said that the ink begins to separate after the use-by dates.

    I'd tend to agree but would still like OP to reply to my question.

    Thanks guys. The dates are all different which I thought was a bit weird anyway, they range from Sept 16 - Jan 17. I guess its time for some more just seemed a shame to chuck them! I've printed a few pages off stuff but not used them, would the print outs be no good?
