Question about Printer Cartridge...

I wasn't sure where this was supposed to go, so I figured it could go nicely in General Hardware. If not, mods feel free to move it to whereever.

Anyways, I have a HP 656C printer (cheap-o wal-mart printer). I have the cartridges for it to install, but I found out the black ink cartridge has an install date of April 2004. Its now 5 months later. Is this cartridge still good? Has there been any severe repercussions from installing "expired" ink cartridges?

Any/all help would be greatly appreciated.
 
Its probably still good, No harm done since the print head is in the cartridge itself (right?) But if the print head is in the printer, then it might clog up from sticky ink.
 
The only risk is if happens to be one of the models that comes with the lovely feature of the onboard chip that kills the cartidge automatically so you can help buy Carly a new Gulfstream Jet.... otherwise, print away my good man.

As mentioned above, the printhead is in the cart, so even if it wasnt packaged airtight and turned to goo... when you buy a new cartridge, you get a new printhead.
 
We have a website internally to order any ink cartridge for free for our HP printers we have at home. Some of them are almost 2 years old, but yet I've been using them in my Photoprinter, and they work fine.

Call it a shameless plug or what not, but our ink is made a little differently than others. We make it all in house, and it's a higher quality than the other brands use. I'm sure being only 5 months old, it will work perfectly.
 
the HP chip cartridge expiry is 1yr+3months

this is according to a retail HP rep
