Hp ink cartridge 67
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I accidently have extra, uninstalled HP ink cartridges--one 67 black and one 67 tri-color. They are both unopened, unused, and securely wrapped in their original packaging. How long can I keep them on a shelf and still expect them to work when installed in my printer?

Welcome to the HP support community.

 

If the cartridges are unopened, the ink will not dry off.

However, there is no particular self-life for the cartridge 

 

Let me know if that helps.

To thank me for my efforts to help you, please mark my post as an accepted solution so that it benefits several others.

Cheers.
