    Does dye-sub ink have a shelf life?

    In my stingy quest to avoid paying full price for some Artainium inks; I have found a set of part used bottles for what on the face of it seems a very good price.

    But does this stuff have a shelf life? Are there any pitfalls to buying 'old' inks?

    Cheers

    Martin
