i am planning on buying new ink for my Epson printer since the colored ones will run out ink in a few days. I am thinking of buying the set- with the black.. Only 2 of the inks will be used immediately, while the other might be used in a few weeks or even months.. will it be okay to keep them at room temperature? or will the other inks freeze and cannot be used again?

No, no problem. But take a look at the date of exprire. Do not take off the the plastic wrap and the tape that lets the air in and you will be alright. Remember to prints something every two weeks because inks dry out if not used regularly.

Inks have an expiry date? I tried to look for it and they did have a best before.. but then there was no date indicated.. it is in thailand language so i cannot read it... How long do you think it would last?

Of course.. i could never leave them for that long since i print some stuff at least once or twice a month, and even many times when there are classes.

Usually they work even after the date of expiration, don't worry. Just don't leave them for 2-3 years! :))))

inks have expiration dates and ideal temperature for storage. Just buy what you need as printer inks are a bit expensive.

I usually just use the continuous ink flow system or something for my printer. Its cheaper and have the same quality as the real thing.

Yes ,they are quite expensive.. that is why i have some doubts if i buy them too soon. The store i am buying in only sells in packs.. like all the colors are there, no single packs. Our place is usually at 30 C though..

if you keep the ink in the box more than one year I think it will freeze, you can use the ink again after installing and cleaning the ink from printer printing preferences or if still the ink cannot be print you can use warm water and keep the cartridge for 5-15 minutes. (try not to touch the parts that are easily damaged).

I don't thin it will last 1 year.. maybe just 1 r 2 months maximum.. My mom is scared that it might get dried up or something, or drained.. which is weird since i won't even open it.. it'll still be in a plastic.
