    Sublijet HD ink average life

    Hi all,

    Quick question, how long a life span would you expect to get on a new set of sublijet HD ink cartridges?

    Cheers

    Paul

    First set will appear to go much quicker as the long tubes in these printers retains a lot of ink. Someone will probably be along to give you a rough figure on subsequent carts, it's not something I ever really measured on my smaller printers and it last for a long, long time even when they flash up nearly empty :-)

    Sorry, I meant the use by dates on the cartridges rather than how many prints!

    They'll all have dates on them. When buying new you should get at least 6 months and preferably 12.

    Does anyone have experience of problems with date passed inks? I would imagine suppliers have stock quantity management issues with this too if inks aren't shifting quickly!

    We have zero problems with out of date SG inks. We bulk bought quite a few a couple of years ago and have two carts from Jan 2016 giving perfect results. We did buy some new carts from Xpres last month and they have expiry dates of mid 2019!!!!
