I shouldn't think that ink cartridges have a Best Before date, so what you pick up before the coupon expires will last a while as long as you don't open the packaging until you're ready to use the cartridge. :-) I know we used to keep film in the refridgerator, thaw before use, because the moisture would be a problem. Moisture would be a problem for any electronics on the cartridge. There is a crack in everything. That's how the light gets in. __________<http://home.golden.net/~samu>__________ ----------------------------------------------------------- For information about MUGLO: http://www.freewebs.com/muglo -----------------------------------------------------------
