• Do not store in extreme temperatures or environments. Keep away from magnetic materials.
• Store in a dark place. Only open when you are ready to install, and avoid exposure to sunlight.
• Do not expose to fire. Keep out of the reach of children.

The shelf life of your cartridge largely depends on storage conditions:

Unopened Products: Ink cartridges typically have a maximum shelf life of 2 years (refer to the "EXP" date on the packaging).

Once Opened: Environmental factors like exposure to humidity, temperature fluctuations, or direct sunlight may shorten usability. For instance, opened ink cartridges should generally be used within 6 months to avoid issues like ink drying or print quality decline.

A compatible cartridge is a newly manufactured, third-party alternative designed to match the original manufacturer’s specifications. In contrast, a remanufactured cartridge is an empty original cartridge that has been professionally cleaned, refilled with high-quality ink, and rigorously tested to meet its original performance standards. You can use either with confidence.

There is no difference in print quality between Standard Capacity and High-Yield/XL Capacity ink cartridges. The XL version simply holds more ink, which will help you save both time and money in the long run.

No. Ankink ink cartridges are non-refillable by design. To ensure optimal performance and avoid damage, we strongly advise against attempting refills.
