Old cartridge packet, still sealed in oroginall factory airtight sealed box. Date stamped November 2009; Can these still be used when opened & will they still be in like new condition. That is, i have just purchased a multipack of cartridges & there is a manufacturing date Nov. 2009. OR is this date a used-by date? Hope someone can assist. ;)

I would have thought it was a manufacturing date, I think they will be fine!

My Epson Stylus currently has cartridges installed dated 12.2005 (this also being the datestamp of the cartridges which will replace them).

I bought a job lot of 'out of date' cartridges for my printer back in 2007 and have been using them trouble free ever since.

Don't use this in your printer, you will only be able to type the letter B.
