Andie and everyone else: Lots of vendors on eBay sell HP ink carts for all printers at a discount--often 50% off what Staples charges. Vendors buy large lots of new, sealed, ink carts that may have a past expiration date (dates are on the box or sealed package). I've never had problems with the "freshness" of original HP ink carts that are about two years old. So those with an expiration date of 2012 or newer have worked fine for me. The ones in the printer now have an expiration date of 2014 and work great.
