Bill,

I use HP cartridges. It's one thing to have an old cartridge dry up. It's another to have a chip make it fail.

If they did nothing an an old cartridge damaged your printer you would also be upset. Why couldn't they tell the ink had deteriorated? Lets sue!

I have a cartridge right in front of me and its expiration is 18 months from now - clearly printed. Ink is a chemical and as such is not a nonvolatile substance.

John

I use an HP printer too. I can see the use by chip if it might cause printer failure. The use by date is clearly visible on the package. Actually it's a warranty. I don't see a big case here.
