OK, I believe a "caveat" is required for my ratings .........
I bought this cartridge in 202-Oct,
but did not install it until 2021-Dec
I have no idea what was the expiration data
of this new replacement cartridge
The protective print-head stripe was on the cartridge
during this 14-month "hibernation"
(and obviously removed when installed into the printer)
When I installed this "new" cartridge into my Old HP printer,
it went into it's usual "New-Cartridge-Install" procedure
and output a "Test-Page"
The test page was completed blank
wherever a color test pattern was required
The printer "knew" there was a problem
as there was no "Check-marks" on the paper
and the printer itself had a flashing amber indicator.
For a "sanity-check",
I re-installed the old worn out color cartridge
and a complete test page pattern (some with "off-color")
was printed with all "Check-Marks" and no flashing amber error indicator
Then I ordered another new color ink cartridge from the same vendor
(amazon.com services LLC)
when I received this new cartridge,
I immediately (no 14-month wait) installed it
and everything in the "New-Install" procedure when fine
and a color print job was then successfully completed.
Bottom-Line ......
I am not sure if my 2020-Oct cartridge was a "DOA" item
(that I took 14-months for me to find out)
or
it had strictly been on the "shelf" too long.
(my "BAD")
